A sequel to Fly!
This one has lots of potential in casual and professional flying. I never did get it to work properly on a new computer, but should work fine on OS9 G3's and G4's hovering around 700MHz to 1GHz.
The OS X patch is here:

Yes, only PC.
It's just that I have uploaded those upon request on another forum and I just want to spread those gems, very difficult to find, as much as possible.
Such a pity the great creator of the Fly! serie, Richard Harvey, passed away just after Fly! 2 release. We would have Fly! 3, 4 and so on by now, even for Mac probably.
Thanks, unfortunately looks like that's also PC-only.
Oh sorry, just replied to the guy who asked for it, forgotting this is "Macintosh Garden". You're right, PMDG didn't release stuff for the Mac version of Fly! 2. If you want a proof, in this post on AVSIM forum, dated Janaury 2003, Robert Randazzo confirms that: http://www.avsim.com/topic/100625-pac-hello-looking-for-fly2-777-757-wor...
If you want the wonderful Citabria and Decathlon package from Realair, here it is:

Thanks for posting that, unfortunately it looks like the PC version. Through archive.org I can see that PMDG made 757/767 for the original Fly! for Mac, but I don't see any evidence that they made any planes for Mac Fly! 2.
I have the 777, you can download it from:

Thanks!!! Great sim!
Maybe somebody have a PMDG 777/767 for fly!II?
Wow, thanks!!!!! Now the editor works and I can import 3 arc second satellite elevations. Editor mode is brought up with command - e.
One caveat on OS X, my ancient Macally joystick didn't calibrate well with the 2.50.240 HIDManagerSupport.bundle. It does work well with the HIDManagerSupport.bundle from the 10.1 patch, however. The actual values are written to "control.txt".
I have uploaded the Fly II 2.50.240 update.
We still need to find the 2.50.240 update the UpdateFlyII is an unsupported update. the last version is an official release.
Good. I had problems with the joystick button assignments, but I did get it to work.
I applied both the Updater patch and 10.1 patch, and it works in 10.4.11, although I couldn't get my joystick to work right. I applied the patches while booted into OS 9 and not in Classic Mode.
You need to place the patch in the main folder, but I never tried it with anything higher than 10.3.9. I'll check into it.
I tried running it in 10.4.11 after applying the latest patch to it and it wouldn't work. I'd see the initial loading screen and then get an error and program termination. Can anyone confirm this? Seems like it works only with really old versions of OSX. Would be a great addition for the yet-to-create OSX abandonware site
The updater for the final patch (I think version 2.50.240) is here also: ftp://ftp.infogrames.net/patches/fly2/UpdateFlyII.sit.binThis was an unofficial update, now unnecessary with the 2.50.240 patch being uploaded here.Sure, I downloaded only 200MB. I redownloaded it and unstuffed without problems.
Thanks for posting this, it's really good flight simulator.
I hope it works. I love dropbox, but you only have 2gb unless you pay.
Same problem here - said the .cue file is missing. Redownloading now, hope it helps. Anyway, I'd like to leave a big thanks to the uploader!
Make sure the Dropbox download doesn't cut out prematurely. The first time I downloaded it, the .bin file came back corrupted, then I noticed it was 100 MB smaller than it was supposed to be. The second time it downloaded fully and worked as it should.
I don't know what the problem is. I downloaded it and it seemed to work fine.
Scenery .bin image is broken.
