X-Plane is the most powerful and accurate flight simulator available for personal computers, but it doesn’t just run on Windows; the version of X-Plane sold here at X-Plane.com runs on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. In fact, X-Plane is developed primarily on Macs.
In the past, we’ve called the Mac our secret weapon. Here’s what owner and developer Austin Meyer has to say about it:
Putting Simulator Screen on TV. Wireless Transmitter and R.C. Real Flight 8 (RF8) Phoenix v5.5 with SD-10G. Mojo 40 (BETA 1.0) for Aerofly RC7. Phoenix RC 5.5 and FlySky i10 Tx setup problems. Phoenix sim adapter. Older G2 'Interlink USB Controller'. Clearview flight and realism. Installing a Flight Simulator Step 1. Insert the supplied simulator software disc into your CD or DVD drive. If you don't have the CD, the simulator software can be obtained free of charge here: FMS Download. Dynam Flight Simulator Software For Mac Free. Best Flight Simulator For Mac.

Flight Simulator For Apple Computer
People ask me all the time: “Austin, how can you compete with bigger companies? You cannot possibly stay in the flight sim business! You will be out of business by the end of the year!” (Never mind that they have been saying that since X-Plane was introduced in 1994!)
Part of the answer to that question is that I have a secret weapon that helps me develop X-Plane at a much faster rate than any would-be competitors. While other teams are struggling to keep their organization and computers working, I and my team are able to work quickly and freely with no computer glitches holding us back, unlike almost everyone else using computers today.
Naturally, I can not tell you what this secret weapon is, because I do not want to give away my competitive advantage!
The bottom line: X-Plane 10 Global is 100% compatible with Macs. You just need a high-end iMac or MacBook Pro. We do not recommend the “Mac Pro” as the top-of-the-line iMac will get similar or better performance for less money.
So go ahead. Give it a try. Download the Mac Demo today and experience flight simulation as it was meant to be—incredibly accurate, incredibly beautiful, and running on a Mac! Or, if you’re ready to move up to the full version, order X-Plane from us and get a copy of X-Plane 10 Global guaranteed to run on Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux.
