5.0 out of 5 stars Better than I expected, 1 Jul 2008
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
Having recently moved to Mac, I needed something to replace FSX. This is it - excellent graphics, the clouds being the best I've seen. Will take some time to master though.

4.0 out of 5 stars Needs a powerful Mac and a long learning curve, 27 Jun 2009
By emogowl (Northern Ireland) - See all my reviews
Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 
X-Plane 9 (Mac)

I am using a brand new medium power Mac and it is barely coping with the demands of this game. It responds by making me reduce all the nice visual effects and frame rate down to lowest levels, which is a shame.

I have used MS Flight Sim for many years and have flown a real plane so its not the flight control thats the problem .. its the instructions. These feel as though they have been written by an intelligent but geeky teenager with endless INAPPROPRIATE use of capital letters, exclamation marks !!!! and witty remarks that don't quite work.

Just one example of how the useful is drowned by verbiage: how does one get away from the mouse controlled 3D cockpit? The slightest movement of the mouse (while flying using the joystick) has one's view exclusively on the floor or ceiling or the side window or elsewhere (awkward on finals); where does one find the ordinary fixed view of the cockpit? If its in the umpteen pages of pointlessly wordy instructions then its well concealed.

In summary, superb program, requiring a lot of RAM, both in the computer and the video card, with an instruction manual that needs a good editor.

4.0 out of 5 stars X-Plane 9, 25 Sep 2009
By M. Bull - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
The game itself is great fun, and incredibly detailed. There are loads of planes to fly, and you can chose what scenery you want to be on the game, for example, you could chose to have the UK, USA, canada or whatever country but not upload all 60GB of scenery. You can also chose the amount of detail you want, so wether you want fivers and roads or not. The only reason I am not rating this game a 5-star is simply the fact that Microsoft Flight Simulator has a much better layout and design for choosing what you want when you are flying. The controls can get a bit tedious sometimes, but after some playing they are fine. An absolute must for this game is a joytick. Without it you have to fly with the mouse, which is very difficult.

5.0 out of 5 stars outstanding
Absolutely fantastic and infinitely extensible. Very realistic, smooth and lots of fun. Even with a lot of scenery it runs well on my iMac.
