[edit] Need more pictures
The article needs screenshots of FS 3.0, FS 5.0, FS98, FS2002 and FSX to be complete (picture wise). If that sounds too much, the 11 screenshots can be put in a gallery section of their own. ---Majestic- 21:22, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
- The FS4 photo should be replaced too. It's poor quality, although is a little cool in that it shows of FS3 and FS4 at the same time.--Anss123 23:13, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Aircraft Comparison
I've added FS1.0 through FS4.0
I don't think the learjet was included in FS2. -- GIR
[edit] Why a gallery?
I'm just wondering, why are the screenshots of FS1-10 in a gallery? Wouldn't it be better to align each next to its corresponding version? I'd do it but I'm not sure if it's intended or not. --RazorICE 03:42, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
- I think you're right, I agree it would be better if each picture was aligned to it's respective FS version. -- Rehnn83 Talk 07:50, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] FS1
[edit] FS1 screenshots
The image posted of FS1 is in fact (I think) FS2 for DOS. Here is a shot of FS1:

[edit] New FS1 animation
Hello, I am offering you a new subLOGIC Flight Simulator 1 for Apple II animation gif. Just use it if you like it. It is available here: http://web.telecom.cz/josef.havlik/A2-FS1.gif It has the same resolution as current one on the site. Regards, Josef
- Yes that animation is a good deal better than mine. I had no clue what I was doing, and was happy I got the plane in the air. I’ll assume you're aware of Wikipedia's rather liberal license, and that your image will crop up on commercial sites?
- I would have preferred a size of 180x113 (same as the other images), but we'll take it.

[edit] Fan site? Rewrite?
Who put the fan site and rewrite tags on this article? Would you care to explain why you thought this article is like a fan site and needs a rewrite? Otherwise, I'm removing the tags. --Vossanova o< 17:06, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
- I agree that three tags at the start of the article is a bit excessive. The user in question was Wikihermit.
- --Anss123 18:08, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
- I don't believe that any of the tags are appropiate. The article (to me) does not appear as a fan site. As for citations - yes perhaps there could be more - but to tag the article as being totally un-cited/un-referenced is wrong. As for a complete re-write - I'm not so sure, yes the article can still be improved but as for re-writing it I disagree. -- Rehnn83 Talk 10:55, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Microsoft Flight Simulator 3.0 screenshot.png
Image:Microsoft Flight Simulator 3.0 screenshot.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
