This'll go nicely on my MAC!

Post by John »

Over the years i've tried X-plane, but for me it never quite did it.

Now the latest version looks a lot better.

It'll go nicely on my MAC at work!

Xplane has always been a let down for me so I'll take much more convincing than that I'm afraid. *-)

I was tempted by X-Plane as I don't have a PC any more.

I've found that FSX runs no problems at all with Win 7 running on Parallels. In coherence mode it's just like running FSX on my Mac.

It runs just fine, on high settings too at a decent resolution.

It's on a 27" iMac with a 2.8ghz Core i5, 8 gig of ram and a 1 gig Radeon HD5750 so it's a reasonable spec although not top of the range.

In addition to that. It'll run with no problems at all on a Boot Camp partition on an Intel Mac. Although I realise that defeats the object slightly.

It's going to take something very special to make me go back to a PC from my iMac and Macbook Pro. Although saying that, I'm not blindly loyal like some Apple fanboys, they just happen to suit my needs and might not everyone elses.
