Francois Dumas 1 Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 No he means Apple Hardware ! :wink: The thing is that Apple has announced to run Windows operating system (in a dual boot with their own Mac OS). Since they also have Intel insiede now... one wonders why one would still want a Mac of course :wink: :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted April 7, 2006 Author Aerosoft Share Posted April 7, 2006 It was on a "LINuX" OS !? Janber No, Apple made a special bootloader available that allows you to install Windows XP on your modern Intel based Mac. This was very very special news as it means Apple breakes with decades of xenophobia. It's a looooong time since FS did run on a Mac platform. Here is how it looked last time.

Karel_Felipe 0 Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 FS2004 on Macintosh? Yup! I've had FS2004 running on my brand new iMac (Intel) for a couple of weeks now, and I can safely say it's the best Flight Sim computer I've ever owned. My specs are: 20" iMac, 2GHz Core Duo, 2GB RAM, 128MB ATi Radeon X1600, 250GB HDD.... I run FS at medium-high settings and I usually get no less than about 20fps (I have it locked at 30fps and it usually runs about that fast) I like to fly POSKY jets around detailed airports like ATL or MIA and it runs smooth just about the whole time. Really a great computer. Even for Flight Simmers PS: I'm also running Train Sim and I get like 30 or 40 fps easily, with settings maxed out.

I keep hearing the same, on simular CPU's the Apple seems to do pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kofi 0 Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Outstanding news here as it looks like I stand to be corrected That being said, just curious, are you running Mac OS X on that :?: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
