Frustration!
I have been a Fly fan since the very beginning and FlyII promised so much that I pre-ordered in July and waited in keen expectation until early October. When I tried the simulator and saw the awful jerking and lack of control - the world fell in! This must be a brilliant simulator - an advance on Fly2k with great scenery and more planes, including 'copters. BUT and it's a big BUT for some - if you are using an iMac with a processor speed of less than 500 Mhz, you are in for a frustrating time. You have to have an accelerator with at least 16Mb and the built-in in the 400 iMacs is usually only 8MB. I know no way of getting 16Mb other than buying a new Mac. So caveat emptor!It says all this on the box, but I don't see it in the system requirements from the developers. And although I have e-mailed for help, no one has replied so far. Very, very sad indeed.

Frustration Part II
My son is into his Falcon 4 flight simulator and the computer store salesman said Fly!II would work on our IMAC. He was wrong. It's taken HOURS to figure out that it's the game not our operating system, not our joystick, not our fault. MacSoft tech line people were very nice, but since there are 6,000 titles they help on, they couldn't get to the root of our problem which is we couldn't get the joystick configured to work (We also couldn't get all the keypad buttons to work.) It may be the video card - the box does say 16 mb hardware accelerator and the IMAC we own only has 8 mb, and there is NO WAY to update it. (I called Apple) So we'd have to buy a new computer. I think not. The simulator does look great. We wish we could play it. But we'll find something else.
