As a recent convert from the IBM world (yes, I escaped!), my one major
disappointment with the Macintosh so far has been the lack of a comparable
equivalent to the Microsoft (Sublogic?) Flight Simulator V. 4.0 for the
IBM family. This is an excellent simulator that proved to be a good study aide during my private pilot lessons...
Has anyone heard of any work being done on an update to the Macintosh
version of the simulator? I am specifically interested in support
for the Macintosh II family - ie, full color and a large monitor would
be supported...The lack of this one program is the sole reason for the
continued existence of my IBM clone!
I welcome any information that the net may have regarding this program...
(Please don't tell me about Yeager's Flight Trainer -- I'm looking for a
program that provides a real-world database, complete with radio
navigation, weather, multiple locations, etc.)
thanks,
rob.

I got the usual results whenever one asks about software which MIGHT be under development - something along the lines of "we are not allowed to discuss products which are not announced". In all fairness, however, I was also told that the idea of a new Mac version was "being discussed". Whatever that might mean. After this non-answer, I thought I'd try the net ... Anyway, I have now followed my phone call with a nice letter (thanks for the advice, Chuck King!) asking about the status of said program, and pointing out the potential market impact IF it were to become available ... we'll see what happens next.. rob ================================================ I'd rather be flying to a volleyball tournament! ================================================ Griffiths.R@appleLink.Apple.Com
