In addition to Windows based applications running in an emulator; There's Flight Gear http://www.flightgear.org/hardwarereq.html Versions for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Requires OpenGL video acceleration. Screen shots look pretty good: http://www.flightgear.org/Gallery-v0.9.10/ I hear you may need to make a few edits in some configuration files for things like controller assignments. >> Stay informed about: Flight Sims on Apples?

Which new flight sims? I don't see any. If you want to run PC games on a MAC then get bootcamp and install XP. >> Stay informed about: Flight Sims on Apples?

Bootcamp is not an emulator. It's a boot loader for XP and OSX on Mac computers. Mac computers use the same hardware as PC's now so no emulation needed. Only difference is that Mac's don't use BIOS like a PC does. I don't own a Mac but know this from reading stuff on the internet. >> Stay informed about: Flight Sims on Apples?

Why would someone buy a Mac and then add stuff to it so they can run PC software? Why not just buy a PC? >> Stay informed about: Flight Sims on Apples?

I like to use a Mac whenever possible, but all the software I need (for example some propriety work stuff) is not available for Mac OS. TVirta >> Stay informed about: Flight Sims on Apples?

Disney etc. But 99% of the regular people don't use that stuff. What software you talking about that a PC doesn't have for most people, that can't be found for the PC? For example: Mac may have a nice flight sim but the PC has them too. Not the same name - but the differences are so slight. >> Stay informed about: Flight Sims on Apples?

I used to use FlightGear... and it was horrible. No change of views and you can't tell where you're going. FlightGear is a waste of time. >> Stay informed about: Flight Sims on Apples?
