Binding: CD-ROM Brand: Gathering of Developers EAN: 0663593120021 ESRB Age Rating: Everyone Format: CD-ROM Label: Gathering of Developers Manufacturer: Gathering of Developers Model: 2016473 Platform: Macintosh Publisher: Gathering of Developers Studio: Gathering of Developers Accessories: Editorial Review: Amazon.com Product Description: If it's a consideration in real-world piloting, it's a consideration in Fly!. First, pick your plane. Then configure and prepare it for flight. Set fuel levels for the entire aircraft, or set the levels in each tank individually. Adjust weight load by pulling up cargo and passenger diagrams. Add or remove passengers. Adjust cargo placement. The aircraft's center of gravity will change accordingly until you judge it's safe to take flight. Expect the environment to be as real as the planes. The 3-D volumetric clouds allow you to temporarily fly blind or to practice keeping a safe distance. You can also define the weather environment by importing the daily NOAA METAR weather data online. Fly! automatically configures the weather in the simulation to match. The 25-meter LandSat satellite imagery of five major cities provides 50,000 continuous square miles of high-resolution ground detail. Over certain areas, 5-meter IRS-C1 satellite images allow for increased ground resolution. Outside of the satellite areas, there is a 5-meter generic terrain tile appropriate to that land type--scenery from around the globe! Average Rating:

And I ensure you that I find that those which did not hold the commands of a Cesna, or of a Cherokee Piper, in their hands, must find the landings difficult. However, I continue to Fly, and to make "virtual" mess. I am not bored. It is always a new adventure each flight. I recommend to take your time. Start with staing in the airs. Then practice your takeoffs, with the assistance ... Read More Rating: - the best flight simthis game is lot of fun to fly Rating:  - UnbelivableI bought the game Fly. It took a very long time to learn how to play and even longer to install it. It's quiet good after all that, if you read the whole User Manual which is 288 pages of small sized letters and complicated notes you have to remember or at least remember the page number. If you don't the only way to move is if the gust speeds are high. Then your flipped over! Otherwhise, this game is a bomb. I don't recomend it. Now the graphics are good, but they're installed seperatly. It's ... Read More Rating: - A Very Good Sim!This is a very good sim of piloting an aircraft! Very accurate details and wonderful voice communications. I showed this to a private pilot and he was amazed at the acuracy of the program. Early versions were very buggy. Runs very well on my iMac DV with 128mg RAM |
