Hi
Whilst looking through the screen shots I noticed Carlos' "Landing at Dubai"......Great video Carlos.
Am I correct in thinking that this is with FSX on an Apple Mac?
If so, - I would like to know how it works on Mac as we are thinking of changing to then for our nest computer as they seem to have some realy cool PCs.
Are the extras such as PMDG add-ons and scenery add-ons compatible with the Mac OS?
Thanks
John

Thanks John!
I'm glad you liked it
The flight was made on FS2004 on a Windows XP PC and recorded with Fraps. I copied the videos exported by Fraps to my Mac and I just edited (added titles, music, etc) with iMovie. Just the edition was made on a Mac.
I think that the only way of using FSX on a Mac would be by using either Boot Camp or Parallels. This programs allow you to install Windows XP or Vista into your mac either by creating a new hard drive partition or by creating a virtual drive. I use Paralles and I havent tried Boot Camp, but from what I've read Boot Camp runs a lot better and they even say windows runs better on a mac rather than on a PC hehe. Though I haven't tried installing FSX, I'm still using my desktop PC.
Hope that helped
