ORIGINAL: bigbird007 I recently bought a Mac Pro quad core 3GHZ and a 20" cinema display. I've installed XP (and curse it every time it quits) and Realflight G3.5. I'm impressed, outside the klunky windows interface it works well. I've got everything maxed out and it's very smooth. This is my first RC sim for the simple reason that I wouldn't buy a windows machine. Works for me. I believe I've read that there is software out there to port windows software to intel Macs without starting over, not so? Bigbird mate - are you runnign XP on boot camp or a virtual machine? I was running Parallels (VM) on Tiger until halfway through a firmware upgrade on my phone, it crashed, and turned my phone into a brick. So I went and bought Leopard, put XP on via Boot Camp (which means you can utilise the video card properly), and was flying pretty nicely. But FMS just didn't cut it, so I dowloaded Clearview, tried my controller with it, liked it, and bought a licence - not bad, only $40. It's not exactly Realflight but it's still fairly good and a lot more realistic than FMS. Plus, my boss just gave me Lo-mac's Lock-On, which is a flight simulator/fighting game. Fully good eh. unfortuantely that means I'll be spending more time on the computer than I should k
