Microsoft has licensed the Sublogic Flight Simulator to be released by Microsoft as Microsoft Flight Simulator . Sublogic continued to make it's own series , from the original FS 1 for the Apple II , to the FS 2 that boomed it's way to all the popular consoles . The quality of the Flight Simulators are split into different generations , with FS 1 as first-gen , FS 2 for the Apple II and some other consoles at the time as second . The third generation is also released as FS 2 , but to more powerful machines with more functions and graphics . Microsoft Flight Simulator 1 is technically second-gen , but this MFS 1 released for the Macintosh has third-gen features . Microsoft Flight Simulator 2 is also third-gen . In other words , this Macintosh version is supposed to be called either "Sublogic Flight Simulator II for the Macintosh" , or "Microsoft Flight Simulator II for the Macintosh" . There are two FS II history sites , and a Wikipedia page on "The History Of Microsoft Flight Simulator" , which shows the generation listings I refer to .
System Requirements :
Macintosh 128k , 512k & Plus
B&W (1-bit) monitor . All others won't work .
This crashes if I try to run from my own disk . It is meant to boot from the disk image (in the download) . I've not successfully controlled the plane , but you might have some luck . No mouse will appear (at least in my case) , so everything is keyboard .

Yep, I still have the Apple // version of this,
and it is amazing how Flight Sims have come a long way (and other games)
even though I didn't grow up with that generation,
I look at those Apple // games in Awe and think how much good/great creativity was at that time..
Wow, I had the Apple II version of this.
