way to get right into the air and is ideal for novice or inexperi-
enced pilots.

more experienced and expert pilots, this option allows the pilot to

available aircraft, and modify the weather environment for the
flight plan.

Navigation Icon Bar
The Navigation Icon Bar appears on all pre-
flight views in Fly! Each button allows you to get
where you want to go quickly and easily.
Primary Menu Bar
The primary menu bar appears at the top of the screen,
sporting an array of drop-down menus. Some Menu Bar selections
and even some menus will not be available at all times; if an item
is faded, or “grayed-out,” it is currently unavailable. The simula-
tion’s menus are: Apple (MacOS only), File, Options, View,
Windows and Help.
File Menu
Load Scenario
Brings up a file box for loading pre-
defined or favorite scenarios and resuming
saved flights. Available pre-flight and dur-
ing simulation.
Save Scenario
You can save your flights at any
time. This comes in handy if you want to
preserve a flight in progress to resume at a
later time. Save Scenario will replace the
contents of the last saved scenario of the
same name – if you do not wish to lose
your previous saved scenario, use the Save
Scenario As function to select a new name.
Save Scenario As
Allows you to save your scenario under another name. This
is otherwise functionally identical to Save Scenario.
Scenario Description
Read a scenario’s description if the author (you or someone
else) entered one when they saved their scenario.
Page Setup
This menu selection, as it does normally in your operating
system, allows you to configure your printer before printing.
Print
The Flight Planner view allows optional printed output of
flight plan related information. This menu selection sends output
to the printer.
Exit (Microsoft Windows) / Quit (MacOS)
– (Microsoft Windows only) Minimizes Fly! from view allowing you to
access your operating system’s Desktop.
X (Microsoft Windows only) Quits Fly! Note that unless you activate the
“Ask Before Exiting” option in Options - Auto-Save, hitting this but-
ton will quit Fly! without asking you to confirm your choice.

Back does not erase any changes you made before pressing Back.
