Default Mac OSX flight simulator?

Hi everyone!
I'm looking for a Apple Mac OSX flight simulator for connect to a Tx.
I will appreciate if someone know something about.

Thanks

I moved this here from the Beginners forum. Thought the folks here might have an answer.

I do not think there is one for rc flying. I mainly use OSX but bought a Compaq to run my sims.

Of course, there are R/C simulators for MacOS, not so many as for Windows, but still:
1) Commercial sim X-Plane, which has a couple of R/C models
2) Freeware Slope Soaring Simulator

In order to interface your transmitter with these simulators, you should use a Transmitter-to-USB interface. Just stay away from Serial PIC interfaces with integrated USB-to-Serial converters. These "quasi USB" interfaces are only supported by FMS, CockpitMaster, and RC Plane Master, which only run in Windows.

A true USB interface is supported by all simulators (not counting those, which use their interfaces for copy protection, like Reflex or AeroFly Pro) and works in both Windows and MacOS:

To salva: You can try also crrcsim at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/crrcsim/files/ It is a bit better than FMS
To bluesky123: Can you say something more about x-plane? What about physics?
