Cool, it's fun to remember FS5...back when it was about flying and not scenery...

You could fly a crop-duster, it was a blast...

I hope thats what FSXI will be like.

A trip down memory lane. I had FS for the Commodore 64 and then version 1 for the PC.

Not available in Holland either. Seems Google only wants to show it in US?

There's a video available from http://fshistory.simflight.com/fsh/index.htm called "FS History Video", not sure if it is the same one, but I am downloading it now; should at least be an interesting watch 🙂

Warning, it's 120 MB in size 😳 (which could explain it only streams in the US?)

Here's a site that I've written about in the past, it celebrates the history of Flight Simulator. 🙂
