I was wondering if any of the fellow MDD users here has a favorite OS X (or 9) flight simulator that they recommend, that would run well on a MDD, and a good USB joystick/controller. Does X-Plane (any particular preferred version) run well? Or how about FlightGear for Mac? Any one with first-hand experience care to share a quick review or pointers on how well it runs on their MDD? I am thinking my GeForce4 Ti probably would run the older flight sims better in OS 9 than any of the newer ones that require 10.4 (I can boot either).

But a new video card is always an option. On my old G3 Dekstop I was running OS 9 versions of Fly! (version 1) and F/A-18 Hornet 1.2 & Korea 3.0 with an ADB CH Products F16 Fighterstick, but found the joystick action was fairly sensitive and hard to keep trimmed and didn't really use them that much.

I no longer have the G3 (or ADB joystick) so I'm looking for a USB joystick/controller for my MDD. Good morning Glenn, Not sure about the v8 sysreqs either, but the demo is running pretty well on my MDD 1.25 SP. It maybe averages 5-10 fps slower than v7 but I'm still playing with settings. It's hard to do six minutes at a time in the demo.

X-Plane will use all the VRAM you can throw at it. I recall your card is 128MB so that should not be an issue. I noticed v8 has two settings for FSAA; one for the aircraft model and one for the terrain textures. For add-ons, I use x-plane.org. Not much left there in the way of aircraft and scenery files for v7 but there are scores for v8. Looks like you can get either v8 or v9 directly from Laminar Research for US$29 with all the world terrain files on DVDs. I paid like $70 for v7 with the extra files.

I don't think any modern joystick will require USB Overdrive with X-Plane, so I doubt brand is as important as the number of buttons and sliders. I recall Overdrive was for early OSX apps that did not have the programming to properly accept a USB input device. USB-O was common with Fly! II and early adopters of OSX.

X-Plane 7 has a huge number of options built into its controls dialog boxes and v8 has even more. Frankly, I'd start with any cheap stick and get used to the sim. Use that time to realize what extra controls you'd like to have on the stick, then get a better one with extra buttons, switches, etc. Having used XP7 for several years, I find myself wishing for rudder pedals and a HOTAS controller array, even for general aviation craft.

If you have/get rudder pedals with toe brakes, so much the better. Understand that X-Plane, like other sims, has a steep learning curve due to 'richness of features.'

I'm still finding stuff in v7 after 5-6 years! We should probably not go too deeply into this here or we'll end up in hot water with the hosts. Send an e-mail to my temporary e-mail address idahomacguy/a t/yahoo/d ot/com and I'll redirect it to my regular account and reply from there. Hi Glenn, Boy, did you post in the right place! I've run Mac flight sims for years and was a beta tester for Fly!

That program never handled OSX very well, but I understand it's now gone open-source and is being used again. Haven't gotten back to it. I use X-Plane 7.30 almost exclusively on my MDD (1.25G SP; 10.4.11; 1,74GB RAM; Radeon 9000 Pro 64VRAM). I tried the last of V7--7.63--but found it buggy, went back to the stable 7.30, and never tried v8 on the MDD. I ran the v9 demo on my MacBook Pro 2.2G and it ran fine. X-Plane 7 produces frame rates in the 30-50 fps range with the sim set at 1024x768 and the details setting basically cranked to a six out of a possible seven detail levels. XP uses the 'aperture function' in AGP cards to access some main memory when the v-card VRAM runs out.

At current settings. XP says it's using nearly twice the VRAM that is on the Radeon card. I recommend you try the v9 demo on your current set-up to see how it runs. The demo defaults to a complex scenery area in Switzerland (I think) so it's a pretty heavy-duty test of your system.

Play with the settings and see if you can live with it. Understand the the demo area has custom scenery elements that make it more taxing than will routine flying--most areas will not have custom scenery unless you add it. In X-Plane, you can install airport and terrain databases for the entire world. I did, and my XP folder is 6.77GB. That's without any custon scenery areas! You will find the menu system rather un-Macish even though the developer team uses Macs.
