      Boot camp will run all your macs power in windows, parralels will partition off part of the hardware and run both osx and windows at the same time.

      Phoenix runs very well in boot camp.

        yup. bootcamp is best. I run Phoenix on my macbook (circa 2006) using bootcamp. Parallels apparently works too, but graphics performance likely to be compromised by the hypervisor so I suspect you'd need a good graphics processor to get away with parallels. Virtualbox doesn't work as far as I can tell.

          Bootcamp for me, although I'm surprised VirtualBox doesnt run it well as its worked great on my PC. They support hardware supported virtualisation features so as long as you have a reasonably modern Mac running an Intel chip, it 'should' work pretty well

            Or you could buy Aerofly 5 which'll run directly on the Mac. It's an awesome sim IMO.
