MSDOS FS 5.1 runnable under Windows 2000/XP?

Hi Eric... Well guess what? Besides the very nice links that Mark D. Stotzer
had provided on the FS history, there also appears to be an item being sold
on eBay that claims it is Microsoft Flight Simulator v1.0 for the PC. You
can find it quickly by this URL:

I've been using MS/SubLOGIC Flight Simulators since v2. And I never even had
known there was a v1 available for the PC. That was until recently. And if I
did know one was available way back then, I'm sure I would have bought it.

Cheers!

... Yes, SubLOGIC (Bruce Artwick was a main guy) created what is now known
as MS Flight Simulator. And versions of FS 1 and 2 never mentions Microsoft
on any copy that I know of. It was only there with FS3 and up. And I don't
know if MS licensed it or bought them out or what? I do know some of the
people working for SubLOGIC did become Microsoft employees though...

... I'm not familiar with the lineage of MSFS, but did it evolve out of
Sublogic's FS? I remember Sublogic's FS2 having been developed for most
of the 8-biters back "in the day"...
