Does anyone run X-plane on a MacOS? I might have to get a new Mac for work. If I can run a flight sim on the Mac, will buy it with beef up the hardware smile

I tried just for S&Gs on my Macbook Pro (newest version) and on lowest settings was getting 10-15 fps. (XP11)

I tried it on my MBP as well. It's pretty weak and runs really hot. You can try running an external GPU for a performance boost. A Mac Pro (desktop) could probably handle it alright also.

Luke posted somewhere that there is a way to run acars but its in some sort of window/emulator. I probably butchered the desctiption but Luke knows how to get it working.
