FLY! appears to come to the table with more than enough detail to live up to its lofty ambitions. From the very start, it comes off as a slick, sophisticated, well-designed package that belies TRI's lack of experience in the genre. One look at the hefty manual, with its in-depth discussion of aerodynamics and the mechanics of flight, was enough to convince me that I was dealing with a serious simulation. And that's exactly what FLY! is. This is by no means meant as a joystick-crunching, physics-be-damned flyer, but a thoroughly comprehensive representation of what it's actually like to pilot one of the five included planes. As such, it attempts to model those aircraft and their performance as accurately as possible on a PC.
