Would I be able to run the new Flight Simulator X on this laptop? I was wondering if I would be able to run this particular game on the Macbook Pro?

I ran the FSX demo (in Windows Bootcamp), worked very well. Of course you won't be able to run it on full specs, no notebook out there can do that. But for a notebook, I was pretty impressed. But if you are on a mac anyway, you should consider X-Plane 9. It is much more realistic and the graphics have really been beefed up from the previous release. You can download a demo also to check it out. I had all the Flight Simulator resleases since 1998, but am dissapointed with FSX, it just is too cartoony and unrealistic. I am now hooked on X-Plane!

if you're using a mac laptop to play this game X-plane 10 . i believe the joysticks you found might work on the mac just give it a try & see what happens . but the joysticks only for PC & not MAC you discovered are not compatible with your mac then just play the x-plane 10 without a joystick . Cause believe me it's better that way .

Yes; I got for it for use with X-Plane 10 on a MacBook Pro Retina running Mavericks.

Yes it works perfectly. I've used it with flight simulator X and have had no problems. If you do happen to have any issues just calibrate the joystick when you plug it in, and that's it. I'm not sure how it compares to Windows 7 because I didn't use FSX with that operating system.

I just purchased the iMac 21.5 with ATI Radeon 4670 & I've played SC2 beta. It runs sooo smoothly. If you're an avid gamer, I'd recommend the 27" with the i5/i7 processors. They have a better graphics card than the 21.5" but I'm sure if you wait until August, they'll get an upgrade.I played SC2 with my friend yesterday with Photoshop running in the background. I didn't realize it was running but the fan was incredibly quiet & he was the one who got dropped from the game. The iMac will handle.

Will depend on your computer, but I can tell you that on my MacBook Pro with 10.9 (Mavericks) the drivers don't work well with the new OS. Even mouse movement stutters, video is out. Your milage will vary.

I haven't tried to run this on Mac yet.. I both AEO for Mac only to find out that Mac doesn't support the program you need to run this.. Be careful..

I have X-Plane 10, but find that the CH Flightstick Pro (USB) is somewhat unstable on this program. By working with it more I hope to improve it, maybe. I have an HP Pavilion i5 with 8 megs of RAM but maybe not the graphics that I need with some of the newer sims. I have an old PII with man sims running on it with a total CH set up, Flightstick Pro, Throttle Pro and CH Rudders with par. ports. With some real aircraft experience, I'll have to say that the old sims were the most realistic, even though they lacked in graphics. Also, you may have a later version than XPlane 10. I have read that '10' did have some control problems. Otherwise, the Flightstick Pro seems to work well with MS Flightsim X and some others I have. CH is a very good company. I've even toured their plant some years ago.

I cannot confirm but I think youll be fine. I used a macbook pro 13" late 2012 model for this game. I have it updated to mavericks os. The game plays well for me! :) hope that helps you.

I think that you should get a new version of a macbook pro. This one is a old version and doesnt run the new OS X mountain lion.

that depends if the x-plane 10 you have can work on both pc & macbook . cause if that is the case then maybe the game will work on your macbook hopefully .

Yes it is. I am running Logic Pro X on a MacBook Air. I did have to update to Mavericks in order to get it working properly, but if you have a desktop Mac I bet it will run fine.

Yes it will run on the latest MacBook Pro with Retina Display using OSX Mavericks.

It should work with Flight Simulator X. Flight Simulator X is compatible with joysticks, yokes, game pads, and other controllers supported by Microsoft Windows and the DirectInput device standard. Many products feature different configurations, so refer to your controller's documentation for its button assignments. Before you fly, make sure your joystick or other controller is plugged into your computer, enabled in the Windows Control Panel, and calibrated properly. Also make sure you have the latest device drivers. If in doubt, download and install them from the manufacturer's Web site.

Hi Susan, Sorry I can't be of any help. I don't know anyone with a Mac that flies. I know the Flight Yoke works great. It adds something that just doesn't feel the same with a joy stick. And I'm thinking it will work. Guessing your best bet is to go to their home page and write them. Take Care and good luck.

Good questions. I'm running it on Windows 8 right now but I haven't tried it on my Mac yet. Have you tried Stanton's website?
