Realflight 4.5 on mac
Anyone running realflight on his or her mac? Flying in the airlines keeps me in hotels a lot. I have been thinking about running bootcamp on my laptop and installing realflight to practice my heli skills. I have a 1 yo macbook. Any suggestions?

I am running RF 4.5 on a 2 year old 24" iMac with Bootcamp, 2.16GHz and 2 gigs of RAM, and itruns beautifully.Ido have a decent graphics card though.Before I installed it Iwas sure Ineeded to get more RAM, but not at all, it works perfectly.

I think it depends upon the resolution and details that you'd like it to run. I'm running Realflight 4.5 under the 1024*768 resolution, and after some initial screen hiccups things run fine.
You may want to check out Phoenix if you have slow hardware as it is much easier on the machine for similar graphics/framerates. For fancier wind/weather effect I'd recommend Reflex XTR. Another downside to Realflight 4.5 is you must carry the included interlink usb-radio, so if you're on the road and you want to use your own TX, you'd have to carry two TXs. I'm running bootcamp on a 2 year old intel imac with 3GB of ram and the basic video card that came with the computer. I have heard that aerofly makes a native mac version but haven't tried it yet...

If the video chip is good enough, G4.5 will fly reasonably well, especially with photofields.
Off topic: I am running several versions of Windows (XP, Vista Ultimate 64, Server 2008 64, and Windows 7 Ultimate 64), MacOS 10.5.7 (one on a genuine Mac mini and one on a PC, i.e. "Hackintosh", which makes a better and cheaper MacOS platform than Apple hardware), as well as Linux (64-bit Ubuntu 9.4). I must say that Linux impressed me the most, way better than Apple's lame Leopard. But no matter what one's OS preferences are, the fact is that neither Mac not Linux have decent RC flight simulators. So, Windows is the only way to go. Windows 7, that is. It even runs on older hardware and does it quite well. Even good-old FMS flies in Windows 7 like nobody cares! :D |

Don't corrupt your mac with a Microsoft OS. You would be better off crashing your helicopter then your computer.:)
