For mac Aerofly or Realflight?

AntTony · Oct 27, 2009, 11:52 PM

I'm looking to get a nice sim and was wondering if I should get Realflight and run it using boot camp on my macbook or just get the version of Aerofly that is made for mac. Also can you tell me some of the pluses and minuses to each of these.
Thanks,
Anthony

Aerofly is the best sim for the Mac. Been using mine everyday for four months now and I love it. In my opinion it is much better then Real Flight. If you are a Mac guy and you love the RC hobby then it is a must buy.

I forgot to mention the plus features. Very fast loading, realistict planes, able to use my DX7, lots of airfields and planes in the menu. The only thing missing is float planes.

Aside from the OS, consider your machine specs. I have a Late 2007 MacBook with 2.2ghz Core2Duo, 4gb ram, Intel GMA X3100 128mb ram video card, Bootcamp Windows XP SP2. Realflight G3.5 runs very well on it. So does Reflex XTR (1st Gen). The latest Phoenix Demo as of this writing was very choppy. Realfight G4.0 demo was also choppy. For my machine, I believe the G3.5 is the best sim it can handle. Better check yours.

Just received Aero Pro Deluxe for Mac and it crashes my MacBook Pro instantly.
Installed the patch and same result.

Any suggestions?
