The way we were

If you haven't done so in a while, go back and run your FS95. It's like a log cabin with freezing well water and a cold fireplace. But in 95 that was ##### exciting!
I can't wait for 2004!

I know what you're saying. I actually went back to FS 5.1 until FS98 came out 'cause I hated FS95 so bad. IMHO - that had to be the worst version they ever had. You give MS a lot of credit comparing it to a log cabin with freezing well water :-lol
More like a cold,damp, smelly outhouse. For those complaining about FS2002's "problems", go on e-bay & pick up a copy of FS95 for a couple bucks, load it & fly on that for a few days - then see if you have any complaints.

Best Regards,

I guess it's all a matter of opinion. You actually liked it ? I guess I disliked it so much because I had so many d/l for 5.1, I had BAO Flight Shop installed and had everything for 5.1 set up just the way I liked it, then FS95 came along and I was back to nothing all of a sudden. So, I went back to 5.1 until 98 came out.

I never had problems with FS95. I LOVED IT! That's why I'm here with FS 2002. I posted simply because of my surprise at how far FS has come...how I had gotten used to what we have in 2002 and how poor my memory was of the limitation of the earlier version.

Anybody seen FS 3.0 around lately???

I'd love to get a copy just for old time's sake....

Can't say I have. But I do have FS 5.0 on those whatchamacallum's (floppies). Remember those photoreal San Fran. & Wash D.C. sceneries by Mallard? Man, I thought those were cool, but big framerate killers thou.
I'm tempted to install 5.0 just for nostalgia's sake.

I still have those too - I thought they were the top of the line and FS could never get more realistic than that :) I didn't care how bad they killed the frame rates, they were the best thing since sliced bread. Just think - in 10 years we'll be making jokes about FS2002 ( probably sooner )

:-lol
Flying FS5 was like flying a brick with wings in a Lego environment.
Still I also thought it was way cool back then, hehe. I showed it to a friend and said "Look I'm actually landing an airplane" and he just shook his head at how stupid I was, actually thinking that was a real plane, lol. Look who's laughing now :-)
