FLY for Mac Users Forum

To all,Richard Harvey's final post is up in the main forum. Reading it, I feel equal measures of sadness at his impending death and joy at his remarkable example of the strength of the human spirit.Sincerely,Franklin------------------------------Franklin TesslerDP 800Fly! for Mac Co-moderator

(edited to anchor)Well, the day has finally arrived (better late than never). After a very rough and bumpy year, the Fly! Beta team is very proud to announce the imminent release and availability of the "final" Fly! II patch. I have just released the files to the AVSIM crew, and hopefully they will be appearing in the file libraries in the next 24 hours. The final version has been tagged 2.50.240. This patch is for both PC and Macintosh users (another victory!). If you want to prepare your machines for the patch, here's what you need to do. For PC users, you need to already be patched to version 2.00.210 or higher (so, all of those already on patch 230 are fine). If you a…

I am looking to see where I can pickup a copy of any one of the Fly! sims for my iMac G5. I have heard of people selling on eBay, but they require an account. Are there any other resources for Mac users to pickup a copy of Fly!, Fly!2k, or Fly! II ?Thanks, Tom C

Hi, The Fly! II final patch for the Mac, 2.50.240, seems to have disappeared from the web. Does anybody still have this, and can you make it available? Also, the Fly! II Globe Update patch that fixed coastlines on the English Channel, the Mediterranean, and West Africa only came as a Windows exe. Does anyone have the updated globe.pod after the patch is applied? Thanks.

I am inquiring if anyone has been able to get the ROTW Mustang to work on a Mac. I have found a thread dating back to Mar. 10 2003 that Matt Horridge was looking for testers for the Mac version. Does anyone know what has become of this project?Thanks, Mike

I just installed Fly! II and got the updated patch but when I try to fly the plane the controls don't work. I have the wingman extreme joystick by Logitech. When I try quick start, the plane just drives around in circles and I can't take off. I need help very badly and I would appreciate it a lot!! Thank you so much!

G'day all,I have today uploaded a version of the Beaver for Macintosh computers.Unfortunately you can't land on water as we need a Mac programmer who can make DLL's for the Mac.I couldn't find it yet so allow a day or so for the library volunteers to put it into the system.If you do download then make sure it is the Mac version and not the PC version that you download.Cheers,Roger

After complete instalation and patch got following message: Unable to open pod file systemstartup.podImac G5 system 10.4.11rgdsCesar/YV52

I got my G4 out of the box and installed the lastest OS to it. I put Fly for MAC on it and upgraded to the latest patch from Richard. Right now I am getting the following error message: "Unable to open pod systemstartup.pod" error. Any assistance would be appreciated.Charles Huckelbery

G'day all,Could a Mac user who has downloaded the Twin Pioneer please report here as to whether when selected (with engines NOT running) the aircraft sits on the ground with a bouncing tailwheel.? ; and that the bouncing stops when you start the engines.I'm trying to trouble shoot, but need confirmation from a Mac owner.Thanks for any assistance.Cheers,Roger

I just want to take the opportunity after being offline for several months to thank everyone you kept developing and releasing all those nice scenery and aircraft for Mac the past weeks/months. It is always great to see that Mac is not left behinf totally although the development of aircraft is limited due to the missing dlls.I

Hi virtual pilots/developers.Im a new user to FLY! II on a mac...and i wonder if theres a way to convert FS2002/2004 sceneries to be used on FLY!II(mac)?

Hi there,I

I have just posted (or uploaded) my first application for calculating the Pressure and Density Altitude. Its called 'PDACalc - The Pressure and Density Altitude Calculator'.Its a Beta release and specifically written for Macintosh computers. It should run on Mac OS X 10.2 and later. I programmed and developed it on an iMac G5 running Mac OS X 10.4.5.It should be available in the "Miscellaneous Files -- General Utilities" catagory of the AvSim File Library. Its freeware, so check it out and let me know what you think.Aloha'sThomas C.

Hi folks,finally, after a long search, I was able to buy a brand new sealed copy of Fly!2 for my Mac.Thanks to this forum which I searched through for the past days I was able to do a clean install and already enjoyed some hours of nice flying.I am a flight simmer since 1988 (FS II on Atari), MS FS 98 on PC, FU II & III on PC, X-Plane 8 on Mac and now additionally Fly!2 with OS X Panther.I am impressed by the quality of Freeware Add.ons (esp ROTW) But I have some questions of course, I did not find an answer yet. Maybe one of you can helpHere we go:1.) How do I import .dex-files coming with some scenery add-ons to update Fly!2

Hi.I've been trying without success to locate the final patch for Fly! v.1.0 for the Mac. I appreciate help in finding this patch.Thank you!!Ed

I've converted to a P4 and FS2004 as there are more scandinavian facilities and addons there. I've been waiting a long time and finally I found a local store who built a special computer to fit FS2004. Se below in signature. I'll still be watching what happens here.I might try to get Fly!II for Win, if it's still avaiable. And som addon to convert scenery from FS to Fly!. I'll check that later on a suitable forum. I won't fly so much on my old Mac, but I still use it for some e-mail and word-processing, as I don't have all the software i need for Win.I would have seen a developed Fly! because som features are better on Fly! X-Plane probably is just as good as FS but there…
