Oh dear Lord not another that drank the cool-aid! You must kidding. I service Macs and haven't found one yet at the same price level as a PC that will run FSX as well as the PC will.

:D that makes things perfect, that means everyone will have an oppertunity to eventually catch up with FSX, and in 3-4 years, think of all the good addons from A2A, Lotus, RealAir...etc that we will be flying :)

thanks all for your help
cheers

That is correct...The developers can now move ahead with all their projects..FSX will and is getting some great addons... Future technoligy will not help FSX out though.....





Worst thing to me about ACES going down was loosing train Sim just to be released...Man...That hurt
 
I'm still waiting for the downside of the Aces being dismissed. So far, all I can see is CAVOK all the way to the horizon.
 
Has anyone seen this: http://www.alpinesystems.co.uk/<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice" /><o:p></o:p>
I have spoken to Paul at Alpine Computers and the only problem is the prohibitive price (about £1400 on of the price of a good computer). But as he said those prices are bound to come down in the future, and the solid state drives will get larger. This looks like the future of flight sim to me, it's just a question of when? <o:p></o:p>

OK apologies in order. I couldn't believe a bright engineering student could swallow that cool-aid.

Back when MAC had their own processor instead the current Core 2 architecture, I saw them as unique. That is when I enjoyed being a MAC repair contractor. Now they use the same equipment we use at ridiculously higher prices, and make their units proprietary. I have liked the operating system since OS X in some circumstances. I can run it on my PC without paying their ridiculous prices on a VM.

It's not that MACS are not a high quality computer...they are, and wildly over-priced for what you get. However they are no higher quality than a cheaper well-built PC in hands of people who pick their hardware and software combination correctly. I have the new MAC OS final beta, Snow Leopard, and I still prefer Windows 7 over it.

Also having known Steve Jobs since the HOMEBREW Club days, I have never been impressed...the WOZ is different story. He is a true genius. I got to know him and some great Apple techs when I was with Automatic Data Processing as a hardware developer for the insurance services division.
