Wikipedia wrote:Flight Simulator 1.0
- Released in late 1982
Sometime during 1981/82, Microsoft obtained the license to port the simulator to IBM PCs (and compatibles). This version was released in November 1982 as Microsoft Flight Simulator 1.00, and featured an improved graphics engine, variable weather and time of day, and a new coordinate system (used by all subsequent versions up to version 5).

Anecdotal evidence from the period suggests that Microsoft Flight Simulator 1.0 was used as a benchmark program. It was said that if one's computer could run MSFS 1.0, it was 100% MS-DOS-compatible, and if it couldn't, it wasn't.

There were dogfighting and crop-dusting games included.

From the news today, it's gratifying that our legal system seems able to distinguish nutters from actual terrorists. While the specifics of the Heathrow attempt may be unknown for some time, I'm referring to the 16-year-old who got a mere 6 months for making up his own "terrorist" cell and plotting to firebomb some council buildings. Not quite Guantanamo Bay.
