More than 100.000 visitors at FS-Berlin!
Time for a short history of FS-Berlin.

Our project was started as FS EDDI in February 2001. We announced our side on February 2nd for the first time. But nobody took note of this: 

FS EDDI was published in the Internet on February 17th. An exciting and varied story was started. Our side disappeared again and again and we had to look for a new home repeatedly. At the same time we completed our website and made new layouts...

Now what was FS EDDI? Naturally, the main theme of our webside was the Microsoft flight simulator (FS 98 and FS 2000) (as indicated by the abbreviation FS!) but with special regards to Berlin-Tempelhof Central Airport (EDDI).
We wanted to collect as many aircrafts as possible that ever landed in Tempelhof out of the world-wide reservoir and we wanted to offer those aircrafts for downloading. We had start to made different aircraft-models more precise (for example by animation or through new or modified textures) and offer them for downloading, too. It was our strong wish to offer the aircrafts in a most authentic way, that is, those aircrafts that can give proof their predecessors landed in Tempelhof before.
The demanding intention to design some classical aircraft for the world of aircraft enthusiasts was started by the FS-Design-Workshop-Berlin group at this time. 

First design study of Arik Hohmeyer made with Abacus' FS-Design Studio at the beginning of 2001: The ESCHER

At the same time, we regarded ourselves as a kind of virtual museum for the history of aviation on Berlin-Tempelhof airport. In the second part of our webside FS EDDI we gave a short summary in writing and in photographs on the history of the airport (in order to offer something to simmers as well as non-simmers), its airlines and of the aircrafts starting and landing on the airport. 
At this time our website was written only in German language. The positive aspect about this was that the simmer’s world was not be confronted with the poor English we learned at school.

The first classic prop project, THE BIG BIRD PROJECT of FS Design Workshop Berlin was finished in June 2001: the legendary Douglas C-124 Globemaster by Arik Hohmeyer. 

After BIG BIRD was published at www.flightsim.com, we suddenly got many visitors and emails from the whole world, of course primarily from the USA. We understood that our project had to get more international. We also had to notice that the models for FS2000 were too big for our existing website servers. In October 2001 FS-Design-Workshop-Berlin started his own website, the so called berlinhangar with free webspace at flightsimmers.net.

And FS EDDI got a new layout:

At the end of 2001 the website server of FS EDDI reduced his performance and we also went to flightsimmers.net. At that time it was already planned to integrate FS Grabow with FS EDDI to form a new common website called FS-Berlin.

Refreshed design:
