Well, i got lucky recently, and have replaced my 512KE with an
SE/30. Now, i am trying to clean up a few loose ends.
1) MacWrite 4.5 crashes - is this the infamous MacWrite that only
runs on 68000s? If so, what is a good PD program that will pretend
to be MacWrite and fire up FullWrite instead?
2) Kermit 0(7) likewise crashes. Should i be surprised?
3) Worst of all, flight sim and fokker triplane won't run. This is
heartbreaking, since the SE/30 has enough power to make these
(especially flight sim) look good. I am aware that Microsoft and
SubLogic have decided that they don't want to fix flight sim,
so WHAT is a good (serious, non-game) flight simulator for my new toy?
4) Also, please recommend a good high-res color adaptor for the SE/30.

I have heard from several soures, including MacUser ~November and a friend who worked there for the summer that microsoft is working on a new, _color_ flight simulator due out with system 7! Finally, a _real_ flight simulator for mac II and se/30 users! later scott |==================================================== |H.

Although it was ported from a PC product (and parts of the interface show it), it's sharp and definitely more than a toy - most of the simulations are of military planes, including some that were designed but never built(!) With an SE/30, it's fast enough to seem almost-kind-of like really flying. However it definitely needs color to be worthwhile. I just got a NEC 3D monitor, with a Micron 8-bit card, which may be as sharp as you'll get without forking out the big bucks for an Apple monitor. It works well for me. John
