TARTATIN  Definitely the best simulator available on Mac.

X-Plane is available for years on our platform and since the begining the support was excellent.  (Version 9.0)

CALEB GRANT  for everybody who says that they just sit on the runway, you obviously havent given this simulator any time. i personally have never tried to make any planes, but i still have fun flying the planes that oter people make around. the controls are very simple once you know them, although i will admit that changing them is a little tricky. this game is not meant to be played with a mouse, so i recommed that you buy a cheap joystick if nothing else. i use maybe 3 or 4 buttons, and then my joystick and clicking around in the window view.

maybe if you took a little time to think about it you could actually figure it out  (Version 9.0rc3)

JUNEBUG172@GMAIL.COM  You don't really need to build airplanes to enjoy this sim. If you're already a pilot, this thing is pretty damn good.  (Version 9.0b20)

RUSS4WILLARD  Like the previous reviewer, this is a program meant for programmers and aeronautic engineers. This is not a game. You sit on the runway and try to figure out what to do with NO help from the program. THIS IS NOT MICROSOFT FLIGHT SIMULATOR. If you are looking for a game, this is not it. If you are looking to create your own plane and fly it, you will be happy.  (Version 9.0b13)
