It was a nice and sunny day the year 1982 Vincent's mother has made sandwiches for us the three of us who are going to play flight simulator. Vincent warned us that the loading time of Flight ✈️ Simulator was incredibly long, however since we were getting sandwiches, of which the bread 🥪 was made by Vincent's mother, with roasted chicken, that was made by Vincent mother, it was all fantastic. Vincent went to a very odd looking cassette recorder. Since I had already played flight simulator before, I wondered why Vincent went to a cassette recorder. It was a datasette, horrific cassette recorder for the Commodore 64 I had heard of. When it's hat became misaligned the datasette could not even read nor write anything.

Vincent clean the head of the data set carefully with 90% alcohol made by Mariënburg. He took out an original cassette with flight simulator by subLogic written on it.

He give the Load command for the datasette Load *,1 and press play on tape came on the screen of the Commodore 64.

He then pressed play on tape and said loading time about 4 minutes. The loading commenced; we were eating fantastic sandwiches; subLogic didn't use a turbo loader, so we had to wait a total of 7 minutes before the simulator was loaded

3.4 minutes for the initial load and then the rest for the final load since the whole 64 KB of the c64 was assigned for the sim.

At a certain Point in Time I heard the typical sound of the Piper Cherokee Archer slowly spinning up and reving idle.

Flight simulator had loaded in 7.35 minutes.
