BAO
In 1988, he left SubLogic and found BAO Ltd (Bruce Artwick Organization), retaining the copyright to Flight Simulator, which he continued to develop. BAO started off with 6 employees and grew to well over 30 by 1995. BAO continued to grow and has overseen development of many aviation products in many different versions on various computing platforms. The market by this time expanded to include flight simulator products for the Federal Aviation Administration. It was there that BAO produced aviation-related software that would be implemented into things like tower control simulation to train air traffic controllers. In 1994, BAO released Microsoft Space Simulator, which took flight simulation all the way out into space. In 1995, they released Tower, an air traffic control simulator. In January 1995, BAO and the copyright to Flight Simulator were acquired by Microsoft. Artwick remained with the company as a consultant.
