Flight Simulator History Website

In a table below you can find a year of release all subLOGIC/Microsoft Flight Simulator versions for all computer platforms. There are shown mostly first releases of each main version. Due to many sub-versions and to my effort to get a timeline maximum tabular, I left many partial issues. For more details switch to a detailed chart.

Artwick after disagreements with his firm co-owner left subLOGIC in the end of the year and he was followed with some of his colleagues. Then Artwick established new firm called BAO (Bruce Artwick Organization). It is very important for future that he is an owner of license for Flight Simulator. His old firm subLOGIC continued with making flight simulators and add-ons.

End of year 1995 was significant for both subLOGIC and BAO as well. Artwick sold BAO to Microsoft and by chance in that time Sierra bought subLOGIC.
