For the ACES team, covering a wide range of historic aircraft was quite a stretch, albeit incomparable to the eventual longevity of their end product.
In 2003, the ACES team found the perfect opportunity to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Wright Brothers' first powered flight with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004.
From the Wright Flyer, to the DC-3-and with help from Lane Wallace (@lanewallace3037)-FS2004 explored some of the most significant events in the early days of aviation, such as Lindbergh's solo hop across the pond, Amelia Earhart's famous voyages, and even TAT's coast-to-coast services.
With improvements to visuals, weather, navigation, ATC, the GPS and more, FS2004 represented yet another step forward in the evolution of the most popular flight simulator franchise, with an FS9.1 patch bringing missing bridges, as well as performance improvements.
And despite the game's age, a very large repository of add-ons and a dedicated userbase help keep FS2004 in the air for years to come. FS2004's ability to run on lower-end hardware also helped in this regard, attracting even the most frugal of users.
===================================================
Author's note: FS2004 was my first ever Microsoft Flight Simulator, having played it since 2008. And despite my occasional shifts to FSX, I'd still somehow return to FS2004, which is currently my main sim again since 2019. It's the most recent MSFS that runs the best in my rig, even with add-ons installed.
