In August 1999, PMDG became the first software developer to formally announce support for '''''[[Fly!|FLY!]]''''' by Terminal Reality. A relatively unknown company at the time, Terminal Reality was endeavouring to produce a flight simulator experience that more closely mirrored the complexities of modern aviation than previously available retail market simulators. To this end they succeeded at the general aviation level, but PMDG sought to revolutionize the modeling of airliner simulations by using FLY! as a base for future product development.
Described as "the most ambitious airliner modelling project yet undertaken for the desktop PC,"{{By whom|date=July 2024}} PMDG released the FLY! Airliner Series 757-200ER on December 18, 1999, and the product was an instant hit with simulator enthusiasts. Designed to provide a complete airliner experience, the FLY! Airliner Series 757-200ER modelled approximately 90% of the systems, switches and functions in the cockpit of the 757-200, all in accurately modelled 3D space. With hundreds of switches and dozens of complicated systems and procedures to learn, the FLY! Airliner Series 757-200ER included a 160 page operating manual, written in the now classic style of the 747-400 PS1 User's Guide.
The FLY! Airliner Series 767-200/300 was the second product in the FLY! Airliner Series product line, and became the last product in which PMDG used the default autopilot and flight systems display logic included in the stock version of FLY!
