Hey folks.

Transgaming.com have been providing software that allows Linux users to play Windows games on their PC's for quite a few years now, and with the advent of Intel based Mac's they are making a technology called "Cider" available to Windows game developers that allows them to run natively (at full speed) on an Intel Mac with no modification of their source code and without a copy of Windows installed.

Here's the link: http://www.transgaming.com/index.php?module=ContentExpress&file=index&func=display&ceid=24

I would pay extra even to have a version of Reflex XTR that runs on my MacBook Pro, and I'm sure others would too.

Please take a few minutes to let Relfex or Realflight know how much you want it. Submit the contact form at:

http://www.reflex-sim.dyndns.org/reflex-sim/shop/catalog/contact_us.php

or email Realflight at info@knifeedge.com explaining that you want to run Reflex/Realflight on your Mac and that it doesn't cost them anything except a percentage of revenue from the sales of the Mac version of the software.

Go get 'em, tiger.

It’s a nice idea and might work for the likes of BF2 but the market for RC flight sims is just too small.

MacBook Pro + XP + boot camp + Reflex or Realflight = no work/cost for the developer or publisher.

MacBook Pro + "cider" version of Reflex or Realflight = unknown amount of work/cost for the developer and a definite cost (new CD's boxes etc) for the publisher

I might be a bit biased since I have used a MacBook Pro + XP + boot camp + Realflight :)
