Scenery not as excellent as Microsoft Flight Simulator X.Mecanics are counter-intuitive;not very simple.Harder to program the Logitech Force joystick than FSX. Flight dynamics OK. Not worth the price.

I would pass on this simulator. it takes up way too much room and is not that fun.
Rating: 2 / 5
dull, prepare for a very long install process -it had 6 disks– most macs cant run this program on full graphics —it also takes over 60 gigs of hard guide space !!
only very honest mac flight sim gamers should pay for this game

This is the worst game ever for Mac.
I’m not a pilot but delight in playing flight simulation sports meeting.
It’s full of bugs. As another reviewer mentioned, it’s kind of an alpha version or worse.
Warning! X-Plane 9.0 for Mac doesn’t work at all. Full of graphics bug, maintaining any plane’s control is nearly impossible, my $[...] Saitek joystick doesn’t work… I’m very frustrated and dissapointed.
In resume, make yourself a huge favor and don’t dissipate your precious cash on this crap. Stay away from this game and you’ll not regret it as I did.

I have to agree with the other reviewer. X-Plane 9 is not what I expected. I will stick with MSFS 2004. I also thought my PFC controls that work with MSFS would be compatable with X-Plane and it was not the case.
