Have you considered Parallels followed by Microsoft and PDMG? I know that it defeats the purpose of the MAC, but unfortunately the best quality flight sims are MS based.

My training buddy is a MAC whiz, but even he went to MS to get the level of realism shown below.

Thanks lads,

I might try a demo version of Xplane and see how it goes. I have an old PC at home but its too slow to be running anything with a bit of graphics. (except Rant XL)

I did consider using parallels, but I use my mac to its full potential for video edits and I don't want to put any more strain on it.

Cheers
