Then again, you could always try flying a glider instead. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Derek Ruddock Sent: Tuesday, 20 October 2009 14:55 To: 'Discussion of issues relating to Soaring in Australia.'

True, but there are plenty of utilities to emulate a real computer on a Mac :) Cheers Derek -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, 20 October 2009 1:57 PM To: Discussion of issues relating to Soaring in Australia. Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] Can igc files be flown in Google Earth on Mac OS X? (This post might contain humour...) 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.
