Episode 62:

The Thrill of Flying

Runtime: 86 Minutes

We take to the skies as we look back at the history of the Microsoft Flight Simulator series from 1982 to the present. We talk about our experiences with the most recent Flight Simulator while discussing all the technology that makes the game possbile. Our conversation takes us back to 1982, where we look at the beginning of the series, and trace the series through its history while talking about the cutting edge technology it has always used. Along the way, we learn about a Tandy Computer, and an airfield that was rendered inoperable overnight. Join us for this high-flying trip down Memory Card Lane.
