Phoenix on iMac?

[Smoothound]

Could those of you doing this let me know the spec required to do so and work well? I think it will run on most Intel based iMacs as long as they have a good graphics card but others say they will run on any Intel based iMac regardless of graphics card Also it works best when run straight on top of the hardware not in a shell like Fusion or Parallels?


I need to replace my ageing G4 tower and may as well get shot of the PC as well at the same time

Not what you asked but Flighttech are about to get a MAC version of Aerofly Pro Sim available.

Yeah I've heard this which is a good thing but...

1 Means I need to buy yet another Sim
2 I don't buy Ikarus Products and never will again

So it's not an option for me

My Mac Book pro runs Phoenix with no problems whatsoever, You can install windows on your mac using the programme bootcamp that you will find in the "utilties" menu.

Windows on my mac has its own 10GB section on the disc when you boot up the computer press and hold the alt key and then you get the option to boot up either i Mac or Windows

Im not sure about the new parallels version but the old one was not capable of running phoenix! I believe all the macs these days come with an Nvidea graphics card all of which will run phoenix easily as it is not as graphic hungry as you would think

any current iMac will easily run any sim via bootcamp

Even the new mac mini should handle it.

But get the 24" imac if you can

To be honest I'm thinking of going 2nd hand as I really can't afford a brand spanker. I will deffo be going for 24" though I'm just unsure how far back I can go and still have the power to run it all satisfactorily? Any model will make this G4 appear out of the ark but I want it to run the Sim as well

Okay how about a Refurb ?

Goto Apples website bottom left of the store is the refurb section

models on ebay have gone for more than these that apple sell, Generally there the last model's or stuff Apple hasn't sold. Both my Macs came from the refurb section

Any of the intel 24" models will handle any of the sims with ease

I looked yesterday but all they had there were MacBooks

I am keeping an eye though

Hi Andy,
Hmm. I have a Macbook pro, new last June. Win Xp on parallels. Can't get phoenix to a usable condition. Menus appear but have no words...or is that normal. Have been getting help from Phoenix and will keep asking them questions as they seem very good at replying.
Just wondered if you had any issues when you first loaded it up? Other progs work fine on windows thru parallels. Have ried all the updates I can find for video drivers etc, but nothing has provided a cure so far.
Thoughts anyone?

Thanks.

Bill

How about buying a same spec PC for half the price the macbook cost you and not having any issues....... <runs as fast as his legs will carry him>
