Real Flight Simulator G5 for mac

I want to use Real Flight Simulator G5 for mac. I couldn't find anything saying it was compatible for mac. I was wondering if I use Parallells or Boot Camp, would that work? I saw on a forum somewhere it said Virtual Pc on mac that it wasn't compatible. Has anyone else tried using Real Flight Simulator G5 on a mac?

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
RFS should work quite fine when installing Windows on your Mac with BootCamp.
Basically with BootCamp you install and run Windows as if you are on any other given Windows PC.
Parallels and the other virtualization apps (VMWare Fusion and VirtualBox) are not the best for running Windows games.
Virtual PC was an emulator that enabled older PowerPC Macs to run Windows. Maybe because of the different processor used (PowerPC then, Intel now) RFS didn't worked with Virtual PC.

Playing MS Flight Simulator on Intel Mac

Hi,
Just like to check if anyone is playing the MS Flight Simulator on their iMac. I am asking becos I thought the spec for the iMac is not sufficient to support the game.

Hi,
I have iMac 24" 2.8GHz 2 GB ram. XP SP2 in Bootcamp. FSX runs fine. Get the latest ATI drivers for Bootcamp from the ATI site. Biggest frame hog seems to be the AA. Choose the minimum setting with the ATI utility supplied. You might want to play with Mipmapping etc as well.
From memory, I was getting around 20FPS minumum pretty consistently at mostly maxed out settings. A couple of strange things happen occasionally. Going from 3d cockpit to 2d cockpit (or vice versa) can slow down the the works. Either restarting FSX or changing some video settings and hitting OK seems to work.
One other thing, FSX SP1 is good - multicore support etc. FSX SP2 has a couple of problems - lose menu text and so on. Unless it's been fixed, stick with FSX SP1.
Lastly, I was getting strange artifacts after changing screen resolution etc, and going back into FSX. Once again, if this happens, go back into video settings (FSX that is), uncheck filtering, check it again, then click OK. Works fro me. Haven't got the foggiest idea why, and your experience may be totally different. When you feel like a change, install IL2 Sturmovik, and have some fun!

Simulation Software for Mac

Hi all, I need to know if Mac has a software that can be compared to Rockwell Arena Simulation or any other simulation software. I will also like to know if there is software such as Microsoft Project and Microsoft Access. I am sure there are, but I´ve been looking and I haven´t been able to find them.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Microsoft Project has its closest counterpart in:
http://www.conceptdraw.com/en/products/project/overview.php
Microsoft Access has both Filemaker Pro and Bento from Filemaker as good counterparts on the Mac platform. Furthermore, Filemaker has converters on the Windows side to it from Access. Check http://www.filemaker.com/ for the software.
You can run Windows on a Mac, if you must use those applications, using the variety of titles given on my FAQ*:

Google Earth has a hidden Flight Simulator...

The latest version Google Earth has an hidden Flight Simulator.
Several Mac Users got it working and are very happy with it.
But i can't get it working,
Here is the link:
http://earth.google.com/intl/en/userguide/v4/flightsim/index.html
the entry command (Applekey + Option + A) doesn't work on my PB G4 PPC 867MHZ.
any tips , solutions ??

Seems like it works after getting the 4.2.x update. However, I couldn't immediately get it to work. When I engaged caps lock, and then entered Cmd-Option-A, I got the Fight Sim info window.
I'll have to try this out... Thanks for the tip. After that, the option is in the Tools menu, even if you quit and restart. And just Cmd-Option-A goes to the flight sim window.

Whats a good mac to use for a home flight simulator with flight controls and foot pedals?

whats a good mac to use for a home flight simulator with flight controls and foot pedals?
My old 6100 AV worked great on A10 ATTACK, back in 1993.
whats a good set up now a days?
I havent seen any MAC set ups as a lot of the after market accessories are on Windows platform.
Is there a way or should I get a dedicated simulator on PC?

The fact that USB flight input devices appear to Windows only is not a limitation; for Mac most are programmed through the sim itself. I know X-Plane does that.
I've simmed a lot and know that good sims need a lot of processor and video hardware horsepower, and you'll also need a lot of RAM. They also run up the internal temps. A Mac Pro has better cooling than an iMac. You can get a program like SMCFanControl to manually set up the fans speeds before starting the sim.
I know of no sims today that will still run on a PowerPC Mac (2005 and earlier) so you need to look to an Intel Mac with top specs. If looking at iMacs, start by looking for the quad-core i7 processor. Those models usually came with an up-rated video card. Thing 12 to 16GB RAM.
My 2010 iMac has the 2.93gHz i7 processor, video hardware (ATI 5750) with 1TB VRAM, and 12 GB of RAM. It runs the x-Plane 10 demo fine but I've not bought the full version because v10 seems to make foot pedals darned near mandatory, and I don't want $100 worth of pedals under my regular work desk at the moment.

Bought a flight simulator and would like to use a joystick. Need a recommendation for a Mac Air compatible joystick.

Thanks, Sig. I think I should've been a little clearer. I've attempted to do the updates on my Mac, but I get a warning that it will erase everything except calenders, email, etc from the iPad. I've syned the iPad with the Mac with no problem, but get scary messages when I try to do the latest update.

I need to install windows on my new Macbook pro for running my flight simulator software

Hi!
I'm new to the Mac world and I need to install windows on my new Macbook pro for running my flight simulator software which only runs on windows. I would like to purchase and download the windows 8.1 rather than buying the CD.
When i go to the microsoft store and click windows 8.1 it says it is only for who has windows xp or vista...
can you tell me where and how can i purchase the full installation 8.1 for download?
i will keep the ISO file on my flash drive.
Thanks!
<Re-Titled By Host>

it's likely an upgrade you are looking for and not a full install of windows
http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/windows-and-office/get-the-iso-you-need-to-crea te-your-own-windows-81-dvd/
if you get it as an iso file then you need to burn the iso file to a optical disc to install it

Can Flight Simulator X run on a Mac?

Hi,
I just pulled out my old Flight Simulator X out of a box in my closet. I put it in my brother's Dell to test it out and I got back into loving planes.
I'd like to install it on my Mac.
I currently own Parallels Desktop and I have Wineskin.
I'd prefer not to use Parallels but if it was my only option I'd go there.
I use Wineskin for running a couple PC games but the guy who makes the wrappers (paulthetall.com) doesn't make one for FSX so I'd have to make my own wrapper.
Can anybody help me?
I have a Mid-2011 MacBook with 8GB of RAM, a 256GB hard drive, and a NVIDIA GeForce 320M with 256MB.
Thanks,
apple is awesome

Due to the graphics requirements of FSX, your best bet would be BootCamp. There's a lot of 3D rendering in FSX and you're not going to get good performance via Parallels.

About an hour ago, I purchased Real Racing 2 from the Mac App Store for $12.99, but since then it has not downloaded one bit, even though I have a stable wifi connection. The money has already been taken from my account as well. What should I do?

Just to make sure, open Mac App Store and click Purchases. Can you pause the download and restart it?

Purchased a flight stick that is not for Mac but PC How do I use this

I purchased a Hotas X flight stick to go with a software app Mac version of xPlane 10. I am more of windows user and now starting to transition over to the Mac for the graphics. In the middle of trying to set up the flight stick I realized it was marked for PC and Playstation. So what choices do I have to use the MAC software and Windows flight stick?
checked for MAC compatible sticks but none that are the quality of this one.
I need help

any suggestions on a good one ? I thought MAC was so good for graphics and you would have thought that a manufacturer would be all over MAC compatibility. I wondered if I used bootcamp to set up the windows side if that would have been an otpion?

Has anyone tried REAL VNC client for Mac OSX? Is it worth the money?

Has anyone tried REAL VNC client for Mac OSX? Is it worth the money?

you should not be getting that many crashes and unlike others here i don't see any strong reason to go to 7.2 other than to get to 7.2.1. i very strongly suspect you have dodgy AU's (probably around 218 of them) and if you have a look at your crash log it should show you why you are crashing. if you see an AU in the crash log it is telling you it is causing headaches. my guess is that upgrading is not going to solve your problems.
just so you know, if everything is running as it should be logic will hardly ever crash. post up the crashed thread from your crash log next time it happens. also make sure that you have the proapp kit latest version.
i know its deeply frustrating when things are going pear shaped. everyone but everyone feels that the stupid thing should just work and gets the over-whelming feeling that apple is supposed to make products that just work, that we paid good money for that level reliability and if it's going to act like this we might just as well have stayed with cheaper PC's. reality is, once you start throwing thrid party's into the mix it is really hard to keep control of reliabillity. if you took logic back to zero 3rd party plugs and in built audio, it would take fanatical fundamentalist to crash the thing. (having said that - i reckon i could)

You can download it (it's just a file) but you won't be able to install/run it with 10.5.8.
