Trivia
Basis
In fact, an earlier version of this game was published by Sublogic before it signed a contract with Microsoft: Flight Simulator.
Benchmark
Anecdotal evidence from the period suggests that Microsoft Flight Simulator 1.0 was used as a benchmark program. It was said that if one's computer could run MSFS 1.0, it was 100% IBM PC-compatible, and if it couldn't, it wasn't.
