subLOGIC company profile at MobyGames

The subLOGIC Corporation is an American software development company. It was formed by Bruce Artwick when he was at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and later incorporated by Stu Moment.^[1] Artwick and Moment's ground breaking computer video graphics programs combined with interest in flying led to producing a very successful flight simulation, FS-1. It was then licensed by Microsoft, improved, and released as Microsoft Flight Simulator.^[2]

Bruce Artwick left subLOGIC to form the Bruce Artwick Organization, which was taken over by Microsoft in December 1995. SubLOGIC continued under the ownership of Moment, who produced Flight Assignment: A.T.P., which specialised in simulating passenger airliners. It used a scoring method to determine the performance of the user. SubLOGIC began a new flight simulator but was taken over by Sierra who completed the program and released it as Pro Pilot. Moment continues to run the present subLOGIC corporation as a generic simulation company in addition to being an airshow display pilot with his Classic Airshow company.
