SUMMARY
=======

For Versions 2.13 and 2.14 of Flight Simulator, the command-line switches are as
follows:

  Command    Graphics Card
  -------    -------------

  FS         Standard IBM CGA
  FS H       Hercules Monochrome Graphics Card
  FS E       Standard IBM EGA
  FS M       Standard IBM EGA in Monochrome Mode

Versions 3.00 and Version 4.00 of Flight Simulator do not have any command-line
switches. Instead, start Flight Simulator by pressing "FS". A menu appears
prompting you for the kind of graphics card you have.
