Default RE: The "Flight Sim for Mac" Protest!

Sadly, I have to completely agree with you. There will most likely not be a specific "Mac Compatible" sim due to the fact that the newer macs can run windows. Also, looks like I got my facts a little messed up riotgear [:-]. When its finally time to get rid of this PowerBook, I will definately be sure to get a sim the same exact day. I am leaning towards FSone, but we will have to see.

P.S. Looks like im the 11th one.

I am sorry, but I have to disprove you, most of the Microsoft operating system is based off of the Macintosh software, MS just got to IBM before Apple did. If you look at the up and coming Vista, they are once again copying Macintosh (program scroller for example.) I don't mean to be rude, just stating the facts.

But I agree, there should definately be a G3, or FS One for Mac.
Actually both Mac OS and Windows were stolen from Xerox Palo Alto Research Center. Before claiming Vista is copying OSX, you gotta know that Microsoft stole the lead user interface designer from Apple. I own a Mac and a PC and have been using both platforms for 20 years.

I had G3 running on my MacBook Pro via boot camp and it ran well. The chances of a RC sim being released specifically for the Mac is next to none. It would be impossible to make a profit on all ten Mac users who also fly RC planes.
