Apple II chronology problem

1975 "FS-0" - engineering thesis by Bruce Artwick: 3D-graphics demo of the simulation of flight on the Apple-II .

Either the date or the system is inaccurate.

The Apple I came out in 1976. The Apple II didn't arrive until 1977. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.34.156.186 (talk) 01:32, 26 April 2007 (UTC).

This web site gives 1979 as the year the Apple Flight Simulator was written. http://fshistory.simflight.com/fsh/versions.htm

fs 2/3 chronology problem

This part of the chronology is off. I was lead engineer on the amiga fs2, and the mac version was published before I wrote a line of amiga code. the amiga/atari st code was developed starting with the mac code. Mike Kulas (volition) and I developed features such as multiplayer and color starting with a base of the mac code. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.16.112.254 (talk) 07:50, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

NPOV

From the article:

¡§A Century of Flight¡¨. More or less the FS 2002 as we would have liked it. Great weather and clouds. Improved mesh and autogen, much better AI aircraft and ATC. Nice old planes in keeping with the theme, better aircraft in general. Very smooth performance.

How can this be NPOV? Furthermore, why are "A Century of Flight" surrounded by weird signs? --Ysangkok 10:23, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

I fixed some of the errors. --Ysangkok 11:06, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Early Sublogic Product

BYTE magazine, October 1977, page 190. A press release from the Sublogic Company of Culver City, CA announced a 3D graphics package. This was a simple wire frame graphics package. Two versions were available, a subset written in the BASIC language ($22) and a 6800 assembly language version. (No price given.) -- SWTPC6800 (talk) 21:47, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

The company was in Culver City because Bruce Artwick went to work for Hughes Aircraft after graduation from the University of Illinois in 1976. http://fshistory.simflight.com/fsh/artwick.htm

Timeline

Should the timeline be changed to prose? RJFJR (talk) 18:09, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

Sources

Anyone have more sources for this? Otherwise it would be best merged to History_of_Microsoft_Flight_Simulator#SubLOGIC_flight_simulators, which covers the flight sims, their most notable product, in depth. Also the founders' articles should be a fine place to host their personal expertise. czar 13:46, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

FS-1 TRS-80 version

A version of FS-1 for the Radio Shack TRS-80 was released at approximately the same time as the version for the Apple I, in 1979. It was released on audio cassette media, since every TRS-80 could read such tapes, and most TRS-80 of the time did not have diskette drive(s) yet. The graphics on the Apple were far superior to those on the TRS-80. FWIW, I hacked the thing so I could run it from my diskette drive. --Rpapo (talk) 18:56, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

Sports games

Hey Dgpop, they may be best known for their flight simulators and Night Mission Pinball, but in case it is worth mentioning here, I have also started Football (1986 video game) and Pure-Stat Baseball. BOZ (talk) 03:55, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
