Default FSone on a Mac?

Is anyone successfully running FSOne on a Mac with Bootcamp (running XP) currently? I know AFPD and G4 are.

My Mac . . .

- 2.4 Ghz Intel Core Duo (processor)
- 1 GB Ram
- ATI, RadeonHD2600 (video/graphics card)

I spoke with FSOne support and they could not confirm that it would or would not work.

With Windows installed your Mac is just a regular PC with those specs.

Just make sure you install ATi drivers from the ATi site after you have installed the bootcamp driver package and all will be well

Great and thank you.

Are you running it on a Mac?

Also, does it look like my video card is good enough? It is for AFPD so I assume it should work for FSOne as well.

The system requirements suggest the 2600 is well above the minimum, so it'll be good enough to have it run nicely, just don't expect to crank up all the graphical settings

I have a Mac Pro, I haven't installed ant RC sims on it though

Has anyone used Fusion and XP as opposed to Boot Camp and XP running FSOne. I would like to try Fusion first.

You don't want to do that. Virtualization is great for many things, but not for graphics-intensive games.

Shoot I have it all installed. Do you recommend uninstalling and starting with Boot Camp?

If you've done it, why not try it? There's no harm in that. And virtualization is very useful for many things. I wouldn't uninstall it. I'd just set up BC in addition to it.
