Ade: its a windows program it'll never run 100% efficent!

but then if it was on Mac then its the same issues :lol:

It does look a very good sim though shame i'll never get to really
use it.

Ade:

Will you be demoing it at Clubman 3D?

[wazzer]

i read on reflex website that XTR will run on a new Intel based MAC
running a wondows emulator program no problem!!

i am guessing the same should be true of Pheonix

What say you ade

[Disc]

hi,
yes I spoke to century at Clubman 3D and they confirm its
comming to intel Macs... Thing is once made for intel macs
its easy to make it fr PPC Macs as well.

I think they might make it now as Reflex will be.

Thing is, an Intel Mac running BootCamp is the same as a Windows PC so it will run anything, RealFlight, RayMarine Nav software - even DOS, not forgetting Reflex and the new one that is due out Christmas I think.

thomas: The thing is that means I have to run Windows.

Try and understand no Mac user really wants to swap OS about
to play a sim then reboot to surf the web or email or use my digi
Camera online video chat etc...

I want to Boot and USE programs Native in OSX.

Boot Camp is not for me at this time.

[Thomas]

Mac user through and through me, since '87 but I need a PC for my sim and the support stuff that demands it.

[Disc]

Well only at work do I need Windows and lucky for me
Home means 1 computer my Mac.

[Ade_Law]

is this a pc vs mac thread or a mac vs mac thread :-)

Who knows lost the plot myself :roll:

With my sailing taking precedence now, I am really in need of a sim. Was going to wait for pheonix, but if it doesn't come soon!!!!

Standard practice with software development.

Release vague info at least a year early to whet appetites.

Set a release date at least 6 months before it will actually be out of true beta.

Then when you do release it, release a dodgy 0.8beta copy as version 1.0 Golden Master :roll:
