He first became a flight-sim fanatic with a flight simulator that ran on the Timex-Sinclair comptuer. The machine had to be beefed up to an incredible 16K (yes K) of RAM in order to run the sim. Later, he advanced to a flight-sim written by Microprose (the title is long forgotten) and then finally to the Commodore 64 version of Sub-Logic's Flight Simulator II (identical to the Microsoft sim at the time). Sub-Logic later did an Amiga version of FSII which he promptly purchased. Finally, about the time that Microsoft released Flight Simulator V5.1, Louis joined the rest of the world and bought a WinTel box. Of course, Microsoft Flight Simulator was one of the first software purchases! After discovering the on-line flight-sim community and all the scenery and tools available on the 'net, he co-developed scenery for Southern Minnesota (available at www.visicom/~rundio/) using Abacus' Airport & Scenery Designer. This drive was fueled by the constant drone of planes approaching Crystal Airport (MIC) runway 23L flying directly over his house. Frustrated with the inefficiency of existing tools for creating dynamic scenery, he set out to make the process as painless as possible. FS Action! Scenery is the result. Louis currently flies Microsoft Flight Simulator, X-Plane from Laminar Research, Looking Glass Technologies' Flights Unlimited II, Sierra Pro-Pilot, Sierra Red Baron and Empire's Flying Corps Gold. In addition, he is working on his private pilot certificate (at Crystal Airport, of course). |
