I've crashed 5 macs sofar trying to fly them.
My advice would be to not fly on macs, or atleast leave that to professionally trained pilots.

It sounds like you may just be jumping and not flying. A few things to check:
  1. Try clicking the "Fly" button on the bottom of your screen.
  2. Check the setting in Preferences -> Input & Camera -> Auto Fly Options: [x] Fly/land on holding up/down

It sounds like the latter may not be set on the particular computer, rather than a Mac issue. I have no problems flying, other than the ridiculous level of lag.
