If you searched, then you found my post that identifies one R/C
simulator that works on MacOS (crrcsim), one that might (sss), and one
full scale simulator that does (X-Plane).

[RCSE] Flight Sims for Mac

2008-02-03 Thread Harold Jackson
Does anyone know of a flight simulator for Macs.  I still have my pc  
but am converting quickly back to a Mac.  Of course, I would prefer  
one with good glider sims.

I haven't found any good flight sims for the Mac but if you install  
Windows on a Mac under BootCamp on one of the newer Intel-based Macs,  
you can run something like FSOne.  Granted, you have to boot into  
Windows but it's all on the same machine.

CRRCsim says it works on MacOS X.

   http://crrcsim.sourceforge.net/

and gliders seems to be something they care about a lot.

Slope Soaring Simulator says it's portable between `Windows and
Linux/Solaris/etc' -- so perhaps MacOS X fits in `etc'.

As for commercial packages, X-Plane supports MacOS.  

   http://www.x-plane.com/sysreq.html

... though of course it's not an R/C simulator.  And there's probably
other non-R/C simulators that work under MacOS.
