Rating:  - It's not really a "game"...
... it's a flight simulator, plain and simple. I've always dreamed of obtaining a Private Pilot Certificate, but one thing has always kept me from achieving this goal. You guessed it, CASH! The one thing that steadily increases the amount you have to pay for flight lessons is the need to keep doing things over and over until your instructor is satisfied that you can perform any given procedure satisfactorly. X-Plane allows you to practice these procedures in the comfort of your own home until you ... Read More
Rating:  - XPlane Review - by a pilot
Have used this product for two weeks now, with CH Products Yoke and Rudder Pedals, and have found it erratic in operation. Constant need to recalibrate controls (often while in the middle of a flight), the ILS instructions will inexplicably change to another airport, often hundreds of miles away, the online charts are cluttered, some control knobs can be difficult to discern (and I am on a 20" Imac), the fixed window size (about 60% of my usuable screen area) seems unreasonably small, and ATC instructions ...

Rating:  - Buyer Beware!
X-Plane customer service is horrible. Contrary to their web site, the free lifetime customer support is support with an attitude. No one there wants to talk to you, no one wants to believe that their product might have problems, basically, they don't care about the customers. Beware customer - Beware!
Rating: - You need a supercomputer to run this sim
This program is just too much work to be fun. Unless you have a ultra high end computer with a massive amount of RAM and a massive amount of video RAM save your money. I have an iMac Dual Core with 2GB RAM and 256MB of Video RAM and had trouble getting this program to run with any of the high end scenery and graphics touted on the box. I returned this program as well as the joystick I bought. I wanted to have fun and enjoy some flying. I already have a full time job. I don't want to have to change all of the ... Read More
Rating: - Too Complicated -- When you just want a simple flight sim...
Conclusion!!!! There is no good flight sim for Mac --IF YOU JUST WANT TO FLY A PLANE ON YOUR COMPUTER. X-Plane is a great software if by next year you hope to be earning your living flying. This is a very complicated program and there is no way to just fly and enjoy. I have a G5 dual core Mac with the large 20" display -- and you can only use a protion of the screen to get the right display to see the entire cockpit etc.
The developers are great people and will assist you in anyway -- but you will ... Read More
