My father yesterday at mid 6 of the night (as for Los Angeles) came from Costa Rica and gave me two things: a jacket, and Flight Simulator 5.1 CD version. I told him thank you very much for giving me the original CD FS5.1, but I was expecting FSfW95. He told me FS2002 was on the way being delivered to my house. He told me he tried to find all the CDs since I used to play with them as a little kid, but I don't remember messing with FS2002 since I was timed out or something like that. Today, I ordered FSfW95 from Amazon.com.
I installed FS5.1 on my Vista laptop and used DOSBox to play it. Comparing the FS5.1 from the CD my father gave me and the one that can be downloaded from Josef Halvik's Flight Simulator History Website, the CD version's attitude and heading indicators can be chosen to be photorealistic, not only simplified. The CD version also includes these photorealistic New York and Paris add-on scenery that vastly improves those two cities, and some global scenery files boosters that I don't even know how they work. Edit 2013: I do now, and they include a world scenery that isn't any greatly detailed.
The video was going to have two songs, the first one named "Crazy" by Aerosmith, and the second one called "Somebody Told Me" by The Killers.
Too bad DOSBox records the emulations like if aspect ratio correction was off, which is why my FS3.0, FS4.0b, and FS5.xx videos look kinda "shrunk" vertically.
