While Flight Simulator 2020 continues to impress players with the quality of its graphics and environment, not everyone has a PC powerful enough to run the beast in optimal conditions.
If you are in this case, you can take out the old Flight Simulator X box or better play or replay the first 4 versions of Flight Simulator released respectively in 1982, 1983, 1988 and 1989… For my part, I still remember trying to cross the Atlantic on FS4 (or FS3) on an old black and white Mac…
So, if you are nostalgic for this time that those under 20 cannot know… I have good news since 2 developers had fun make the first 4 Flight Simulator playable directly in your web browser!
FSHistory allows you to replay early versions of Flight Simulator
With FSHistory, all four versions of the flight simulator are fully compatible with the keyboard and mouse, and you can even run them on your mobile browser, but you might have trouble driving in those conditions!
The controls are simple, but the game is not, we must not forget that even in its first versions Flight Simulator wanted to be a piloting simulator as realistic as possible!
Personally, I had never tested Flight Simulator 1… and frankly, you can't see anything! The graphics allowed by computers in 1982 make things really difficult on such a complex game.
Fortunately, with FS2 things improve a little and the graphics allow us to see things a little more clearly!
However, it was only from 1988 and FS3 that the simulator really seemed playable to me!
In short, FSHistory is a nice surprise for fans of retro games (and flight simulators) and I'm always surprised by what's possible directly in your web browser !
By the way, in the same genre, you can test GeoFS, a free Flight Simulator and it is also playable in your browser, but with more modern graphics!
