I have over 250 planes on mine and made pic interface cable to use my tx, the cable cost $12 for a futaba/hitec trianer cord that was hacked and soldered to plug into the mic on my pc. the site is www.flying-model-simulator.com ,check it out , the mac version is there somewhere. All the plans and downloads are on the site to, try the links page and the forum.

Status: offline 		What the page you refer to discusses for the Mac isn't FMS. It's a dead link that redirects to a page no longer lists the heli simulator.

There isn't a version of FMS for the Mac.

What strikes me in all this is the amount of competition in the PC RC simulator business. There are what, 3-4 commercial products, plus FMS? Where does a new product such as FS One expect their sales to come from? That market isn't full of people anxious to buy yet another RC sim. Of the Windows RC'ers likely to purchase a sim, how many of them already have done so? Are the commercial sims just trying to cannibalize each others' market share? Where's the growth going to come from?

My guess is that nobody has ever done a market analysis here.

Status: offline 		i upgraded my powerbook to a macbook just so i could buy a sim, running afpd right now, it runs perfect except for the smoke feature- it will slow down... but its great for only a 64 mb video card. big price i had to pay for a sim.

for all those people that have an intel mac but don't want to "plague" their system with windows, remember 2 things. 1) if you're really worried, just don't connect to the internet and that will reduce a lot of the risk. 2) I run windows with good virus protection, and when i've had a problem i just wipe the windows particion and reinstall windows... doesn't affect the mac side. heh.

Do you use bootcamp or the parallels desktop? I have one of the intel based imacs and plan to do the same ( although I'd really rather have a mac native version)

MikeL is right, you can't run a sim using Parallels yet.
