I've used MSFS from the early days and here's some random facts:
- the model in the article foto is holding the yoke wrong - you're generally supposed to use one hand, unlike a car steering wheel
- FS2000 was used in some commercial simulators, as seen in various ads in Aviation Week & ST. In the pre-digital era, often sectional maps or video of models were projected for the pilot
- I aced my instrument checkride after practising with FS5, which essentially had no terrain.
