subLOGIC Flight Simulator 1 for Apple II

[bachstetz]

can u buy this

[bored1980]

Gosh I remember this. Played it in the mid 80's. Before the internet and mobile phones. It was epic back then.

[centralscrutinizer66]

I used to love this! I used to like the fact that you can leave the grid, it made me wonder where in the program I was location-wise. I would mostly take off and land. The combat was fun too.

I will make an OPenSource simulator in C, which will be very similar to this, but the graphical output will be done with ascii-art, considering that today computer have aterminal resolution of at least 50x160 which can be tuned to 100x160 using some ascii characters in the right way. I think that games like this are cool because they have some sort of 'primordial force'... and this is even more true if one looks at the C code of such a game... things like rotation matixes and f=ma look clear

[violinperforming]

Although I have been heavily into OpenGL and such, I made both a wireframe and an ascii-art version of my 3D car simualtro, CTruck3D_Simplex.Watch my video on it. I think that they should teach how to do 3D graphics gmaes with ascii -art... we physicists like to go to ABC... This kind of graphics is the ABC of 3D graphics, and can be written from 0 in C programming language... it' not extravagant but at least one knows how it works, and today, low-resolution 3D can be displayed in Terminal

Was the ground modeled after my screen door?

[joninordhus]

WELL BETTER THAN X-PLANE 

[MrGeophil]

what is the year that he comer

[196666joe]

@MrGeophil The first sub-version of subLOGIC FS1 came in 1980. This upgraded sub-version probably in 1981-1982.

[tom211t]

Did you intentionally make this funny?.... or is this really how it was lol...

[196666joe]

@tom211t Try to imagine you are in 1980 year. Try to imagine you have a computer like 8bit Apple II with very low possibilities. Then you find the game brilliant.

[tom211t]

@196666joe Oh no i know what you mean man, but still was it really that slow?... Its almost like a piss take in its own right cos youre still 1000ft above the ground and dont even get a chance to line up with the runway then *CRASH* lol... Thats kinda what i was gettin at.. Needles to say I do find these classics brilliant and appreciate the fact that had it not been for these then the todays flightsims may not even existed.

[196666joe]

@tom211t This is the game real FPS. If you mean the crash at the end, there is a video cut between the video clips. So it seems like the crash over the runway.

[nandoARG25]

like just star wars :)

[GMSamuelRhine]

wow that is so disorienting

[terminatorfresh666]

it's amazing how they went from this flight sim to all of the new ones, but not just flight simulator, x plane too. I have x plane, but i think flight sim x is better, i haven't played it, but i have seen vids of it.

[talshiarr]

I would award a pilots license to anyone who actually managed to take off and land successfully.

[196666joe]

I am glad that I received my license in my other video subLOGIC Flight Simulator 1 for Apple II - the first ever!!!

[Grazz1992]

Hi can my PC run this?

Core i5 750 @ 2.66Ghz

4GB DDR3 @ 1066

Geforce GTX275 1792mb

1TB 7200RPM HDD

[196666joe]

Only with hard problems...

[FSXPiilots]

@196666joe haha

[andreas1794]

@Grazz1992 No, it is probably not supported. get a better OS and maybe...

[123FoodFan]

@Grazz1992 Why would your computer want to run this? lol But yea I would think so lol my microwave could probably run this.

[Q8yGodfather]

@Grazz1992

:)

i don't think so ..because you exceed the highest ultra mega game extra maximum recommendation

[95095122]

@Grazz1992 You have core i5 in 198x?

[SporeFan01234]

@Grazz1992 Sorry buddy, This game requires a minimal of Intel core i7 4.0ghz processor with 12gbs of RAM and a 4tb hard drive with along with the AMD Radeon 6990 graphics card

[aeromasterslefjohn]

hahhaha looks really crappy i didnt see when you crashed in the ground !

[Airbornerock]

I don't even get this, like when the hell are you in the sky and when you are not lol

[zcheeseolly]

I could not play that, it'd drive me insane.

[wazooda]

Great stuff! This was my FAVORITE program when I first got my Apple ][ in the late 70's/early 80's. I would play this for HOURS! We've come a LONG way. Thanks for this.

[TheAppleMan100]

why is the older flight sims on the older macs and flight sim 10 is not on the new iMacs. dosnt make sense.

[196666joe]

It is a question for Bill Gates. Which computer platform does Microsoft support? That is an answer...

[fenderish]

hahaha back then it would of been like, ZOooMMmmGG so realistic, the evolution of flight simulator is impressive! pretty shattered that they have stopped the development, i would love to know why if anyone knows?

[sk8rguy4life1123]

omg so realistic

[Dmetrey437]

Where can i get this? Im sure it will run faster then FSX on my system :p

[CONNO123A]

what year was this made

it looks 1960s

[196666joe]

1980, see for more history on my website

[LotsOfGreatStuff]

How could you possibly enjoy this??lol

[196666joe]

Try imagine - 30 years...

[KartKing4ever]

its a macintosh II

[196666joe]

No! Its Apple II. The Apple Macintosh (shortly Mac) series computers were made later.

[flacomaldito]

how were you able to land with such framerate????

[196666joe]

very difficult, but training makes masters
