3. We are from
VirtualAirTrafficSIMulation Network
4. What we do =
bridging Flight Simulator and ATC
5.
First you must have
a Flight Sim on your PC
6. Not this one
Yes, this one for your personal computer in home
7. Wow, great!
Yes I know.
It must be new software letting us to fly my plane at home
8.
The answer is
No.
9. subLogic Flight Simulator first appeared on AppleII in
1980
Flight Simulator at that time was running on Steve Jobs
computers!
10. Companies create their own flight sim games for various
platform like IBM PCTexas Instruments Atari after the success of
that one on APPLE II
11. Finally Microsoft acquired Flight Simulator and said BYE BYE to
Steve Jobs.
Running on DOS makes it more popular and affordable
12. Flight Simulator 5.0 became the first flyable Flight Sim which
was published in 1993
13. The first Flight Simulator capable for VATSIM was Flight
Simulator 2000
14. And the latest one
Flight Simulator X - FSX
15.
So why didnt I hear any people flying their plane at home since 28
years ago?
16.
Because we always want something real !
17.
At that time we have no such flight simulations like today:
18. No proper 747-400
19.
20. No wonderful flight deck
21.
22. Not all system simulated
23. Not even usable flight computer
24. Also no beautiful sceneries
