X-Plane is a very popular flight sim on Mac and PC, Flight Gear I believe works on OS X as well. Of course you could always run MS Flight Simulator via a virtual desktop ;)

Hi Hicksie,

I'm also interested in any replies you get.

Many years ago I used the old Combat flight sim, on my PC but then the machine finally died, I replaced it with an I-Mac and miss my sim-ing.

Personally I wouldn't want to run a vertual desktop, so Apple options (inc yokes etc) would be great.

All I want to do is Beaver, float flying. Nothing more and nothing less.

Regards

Reggie

After returning to FS2020 and X-Plane (on OS Catalina) I find MS Sidewinder - Force Feedback works very well after driver updates!

Using OS Catalina after a long lay-off and have found MS Sidewinder Force Feedback works just as well with X-Plane as when used with FS on Window 7 - 10.

For what it's worth I found that the Justflight Hawk T.1 handling helped calibrate the Sidewinder joystick with more realism too!
