Default Any chance of getting AFPD on a Mac??

I've got both PC's and Mac's - I use Mac's for business and Desktop PC's for fun (been doing PC's for about 20 years - Mac's for just 3.)

Any chance at all that Icarus could port AFPD to OS X?? The Hardware on Mac's is super! My Laptop is currently a 1.5GHz PPC with 1.25GB RAM DDR266 and an ATI 9700 Mobility Graphics Chipset with 64MB DDR. I believe that AFPD would run great on these new platforms, and the Mac community has been screaming for a flight simulator.

To date, only a couple of free open-source simulators are available. They are pretty primative - graphics are great, but the underlying sim stuff is lacking.

...

Oh, and I forgot! Mac folks, generally, are A LOT more willing to spend a couple hundred bucks on a program than PC folks!! Good market here!!
