Original platform for flight simulator was DOS.
At one time Flight Simulator was considered the benchmark as to whether or not a computer was truly IBM compatible. consultant - Why didn't you like CFS3? Did you like the other two? I only have CFS1 and I thought it was a blast. |

| I always wondered if Microsoft purchased the Commodore 64 game Flight Simulator II ... that was circa 1984-85. The original MS Flight Simulator games were VERY similar, in interface and overall feel... |

IronCladLou - We have a winner!
http://www.gamespy.com/halloffame/november00/flightsim/ Yes indeed. Microsoft worked with Sublogic to create Flight Simulator II. I remember that game, but I honestly didn't remember the connection. IronCladLou will go home today with a years supply of rice-a-roni, the san francisco treat. |

| Soda, CFS3 is actually pretty awesome (compared to I & II). Graphics are much improved...better attention to detail, and it *seems* to be a bit faster and more natural feeling compared to the previous versions. |
