My first flight sim was "Flight Simulator" by SubLogic of
Champagne,Illinois. That same town was also the default airport for that
sim. I believe it to be the very first commercially available PC-based
flight sim....is that right???
The original version was a B&W polygon scenery type keyboard control with
a clicking PC speaker for engine noise. We all played it at work!!!
SubLogic then later released the same product for the Commodore 64 with
color, improved sound, "real" scenery (at least improved) and joystick
control.
It was because of their C64 version that I bought my first computer....
