   Newest update of Microsoft Flight Simulator brings you... a playable Microsoft Flight Simulator 4.0 inside the game! #DOSGaming

     It's amazing how the only program that's ever been any good at a major software company that's had the incumbent computer operating system (which is on the decline, but hey), was the damned flight simulator.

     @dosnostalgic how does one bring up this Easter egg? Unless you're putting us on.

     @dosnostalgic There’s also the WebAssembly-based emulation of the first four Microsoft Flight Simulators, playable in a browser:

     I’m guessing from 5 onwards, they got too demanding to easily emulate

     @acb I almost want to say this is what it actually is because apparently "FSHistory" shows up in the game's content manager.

     How to enable it (Allegedly. I'm not reinstalling this thing):
     Get in a DA62 and switch the ELT on

     @dosnostalgic How to activate:

     "On the runway in a Diamond DA62, you press the ELT switch."
