• There seems to be an up tick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

Remmenber The FS "FLY"

Fly! died when his lead developper, Richard Harvey, died six years ago.

It had been a cruel loss for the simming community as the guy was extremely talented and a very nice fellow.

Fly!2 was rushed to release by Take 2 but the two versions of the franchise were quite good. They are outdated I presume now, they have been off my computer for quite awhile...
 
Fly 1 was AWESOME!!!!!

I loved that little sim. Back in the early days it was way ahead of its time, featuring photo real scenery. You only had 4 regions to fly in, and the terrain looped over again if you kept flying straight along.

I loved the little FBO office too where you selected your plane and all. Birds chirping outside, etc..


Great sim. Never did try Fly II.

Fondly remember Fly, especially the mapping side of it.
Shame also re Flight Unlimited series which was great in its day but too restricted in flying area.

You mean Todd Klaus Terrascene, wasn't it great ? My puter of then spent nights crunching USGS data :icon_lol: !

I wish the MSFS world has such tool but I guess that with FSGenesis meshes and landclasses we got lazy anyway...:mixedsmi:
 
Fly!II is still around, being supported by its user community, most additions come from french site simvol http://fly.simvol.org/

(as is Flight Unlimited III, where the die-hard users have added the UK and Switzerland to fly in,and newer aircraft,check out the forum at Avsim)
