I think I started with...wait for it...FS2 on my c64 and Apple ][e. 1983 IIRC.
Silent Service came a few years later, again IIRC. Although, I'm sure GATO was the first ever PC subsim, released in 1983, for the Spectrum. FS1 was released in 1979, so that answers the question of what came first.
EDIT: NO! I started with FS1 for the Apple ][. I remember the monochrome "stripes" now.
