Sub-Logic FS-2 on Commodore C-64 Vid

[markg55]

Well I remember losing sleep with this back in the day. Flying from KISP to KMVY it would stop  and the "loading" screen would appear. Good Times!

Wow, the old days. I started with FS3, as I remember.

[Dennis the menace]

Oh wow, I've never seen this before. Does anybody recall what the original flight simulator cost, and how much did a Commodore C-64 cost when new?

Hi,

if I remember right, the C-64 did cost in 1985 800 DM in Germany.
But I know exactly the price for my first 5.25 Floppy Drive, 599 DM in 1986.

My first Computer was a Sinclair Spectrum with 48 kbyte memory in 1983.
Then the C-64 with Sublogic FS2...what a pain.
I used the C-64 mostly with C-Lab Supertrack,, one of the first Software Midi Sequencer.
Then I bought a Atari Mega ST2 in 1987 and later a 20MB !! Hard Disk.
Tried again Flightsim with FS4 for Atari......still not much fun, but "playable"
So also used this computer mostly for Midi Sequencing.
I think it was 1994, when I decided to change to IBM compatible, with the feeling of a backstep.
This feeling slowly changed with Win 95C which was stable enough for some months usage
without reinstall.

I do not know anymore the price of Sublogics FS2 back then, I think it was 29.95 DM.
But these were the times, where an friend of an friend had Diskettes which could get copied.
Networks without Internet...unbelievable.

Cheers
Wolfgang

First was for me fs for atari 800xl
64k ram and in severals 5 1.4 floppy disks

But i really start to use it at FS 5.1 for PC

After that i use it more and more changing the version from fs98 i start to dowload things from flightsim

Fs2000 fs2002 fs2004

I remember that im not see a lots of diference between fs2002 et fs2004

I also use CFS and CFS2 and after IL-2

I started use cc scenerys with fs2004


On 2012 i start to buy hardware for simulator (saitek panels and yoke and rudder)
On 2013 i start make scenerys

On 2014 i bought a computer configurated exclusively for flight simulator

I start really use fsx in 2014 with my new computer


Note: atari 800xl was the atari answer to comodore c 64 or 64 c

I remember see one time fs on comodore 128 with a black and white monitor was the future for me !
