IGC Flight Replay is unfortunately Windows only. Although in theory it may run under Mono on Mac OS X - be interesting to find out some time.
The convert tool that comes with Google Earth - but must be run from the command line, will convert the IGC files into KML for use on Google Earth. But it suffers from the same problems as below - Wall down to surface etc. Sorry I can't help much more. I also only use a Mac & Linux, but I don't really do the 3d Visual part.
