Default Sims with a Mac

My son has a Mac-book pro, and we were going to get him an Aero flight sim for Macs, but his Mac has the Intel processor, so the Aero flight sim wont work with his Mac. But I've read that there is a way to run Real Flight or Pheonx on a Mac, Im not real computer savey but could anyone tell me the correct procedure on how to run those sims on a Mac, and which sim would be the best, and least complicated for him to use with his Mac?
Thanks very Much,
Paul

You can run Windows on your Mac with software provided for free when you bought your Mac. The software is called bootcamp and can be found in the Utilities folder located in the Applications folder. Bootcamp helps to set up a partition on your drive for Windows and also loads all of the drivers necessary for Windows.

To run bootcamp and install Windows, you will need a suitable copy of Windows. Bootcamp is free.

I have instaled Windows on 6 Macs for friends and family using bootcamp. My dad runs his RC flight simulator on his Mac using Windows on his bootcamp partition. Runs great!

So research bootcamp, get someone to help you load Windows and then run anything you want.

Believe it or not; The best Windows computer is a Mac!
