Combined with a virtual reality headset and advanced flight simulation hardware, FS2020 now offers the level of immersion, fidelity, and realism for many to experience flight as close to reality as possible right from their desk. Additionally, it features realistic, real-world, and real-time weather conditions, realistic physics, and well-modeled aircraft.įor the flight simulation enthusiasts that began their virtual flying experience from the 1980s, Microsoft FS2020 provides the photo-realism and near-realistic virtual flying experience many have waited a long time for. This level of graphical detail makes it possible to fly VFR (visually using landmarks) from one airport to another. The most notable is that the entire world is simulated through the use of Bing Maps satellite imagery and used artificial intelligence to analyze map data to generate photo-realistic buildings, terrain, and other objects.

However, to everyone's pleasant surprise, Microsoft released Flight Simulator 2020 (FS2020) with amazing features. The program screen of the Apple version already had the. Both were written in their respective assembly language for optimal speed and capabilities. A few months later followed by a similar version for the TRS-80.

After Microsoft closed their Aces Game Studio (responsible for Flight Simulator) in 2009, there was uncertainty if PC flight simulation would continue to advance in the manner it had over the decades. Probably the earliest commercially available flight simulator for home computers was subLOGIC’s FS1 Flight Simulator, released way back in 1979 on the Apple II.As dated as it looks now, this was the program that started it all: it not only proved that a home computer could create this kind of play environment, but it also demonstrated that there were people out there who would buy. The first ever Flight Simulator was FS1 for the Apple II, written by Bruce Artwick in 1979 and released by subLOGIC in January 1980.
