Well, I've been waiting 5 years or so and still have not seen a RC simulator for Apple Macintosh. I really need it bad because I want to start flying heli's. I still can't believe that of all the manufacturers out there, they only have it for Windows. Can anyone offer some help or suggestions with me going out to buy a PC just to run a simulator.[]

I've heard of software that lets you run PC programs on a Mac.
I'd try searching for that program.

If I was you , I would call MAC. and ask them if they can find the software. If they can't nobody can.

Try this company: http://www.alphamacsoftware.com/

They have an RC Heli simulator for Mac that should even work with a USB adapter for your transmitter, or even a Real-Flight transmitter.

I can sympathize with you, I started the other post about Plane simulators for OS X! I don't know about how well programs such as Virtual PC would work - someone posted in my thread about them being kind of slow. I don't have any other need than to use the sim for it, so I can't justify the expense...

By the way, congratulations on being a Mac user!

jbeck,

Thanks for the link, I will give it a shot. Other than this problem Macs are awesome!

Let us know how it works out once you try it. Good luck!

My brother in law had virtual PC running on his Mac a while back and it was slowwwwwwww doing pretty much anything. IMHO it'd be useless to run a flight simulator. not hard to understand really, it's essentially two operating systems running at the same time.

I believe r/c aerochopper had a version for the mac, although I have the pc version at home.
