  1. I haven't bought the SuperDrive yet, but I was wondering if you had any suggestions as to what would work with the Mini Mac? Thanks!
  2. Thanks for your reply! In answer to your question, I have the X-Plane 11 Global Edition (comes with 8 discs). I'm not super tech savvy, so do you know what the rep meant when he told me I'd have to get a virtual machine (Parallels or VMware)? My understanding is that the Mac Mini is pretty powerful. Thanks
  3. Hi - I'll be purchasing a new Apple Mac Mini computer next week. For a long time I've had a Dell Inspiron computer, and I've used Microsoft Flight Simulator 2002, and a couple years ago purchased X-Plane 11, both of which I've used on my Dell Inspiron. The Apple rep on the phone told me that there is a Mac version of X-plane 11, but I would need to get a virtual machine (Parallels or VMware - not sure of the cost or how involved that would be),in order to install the Windows OS so I can use the same copies. I will be getting their "Superdrive, which is basically a CD/DVD player that would allow me to install the X-Plane 11 on the Mac Mini. The rep also said he did not think the Microsoft 2002 is compatible with the Mac Mini. Do you know of the Mac version of X-Plane 11 and if it's any good? Any other ides/suggestions for using a flight simulator on my Mac Mini? Thanks! flyguy
  4. Hi - I wanted to post a question in "General Interest", but did not see where I can post a new thread/question. Advise? Thanks!
  5. Hello, A couple days ago I posted a thread in both the general and X-plane forums, but no one has responded yet. I'm looking for some help please on an issue I have had with the installation of Disc 3 for X-plane 11. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! Fly guy
  6. I recently purchased X-Plane 11, and in addition, before I purchased X-Plane I had a new high quality video card installed. I have a Windows 10 operating system. Both Disc 1 and Disc 2 installed just fine. When I inserted Disc 3 after awhile a message came back and said there was an error. Not sure why. I downloaded the manual and I did read that if I choose all of the scenery, that it might be too much, and it's better to add as you go. So, I took out some scenery, but still to no avail; I get the same message and cannot get past Disc 3. I did send an email to support at Laminar, but I also noticed there is no phone number for them (sort of weird). I emailed them last night but have not heard back from them. Has anyone had the same issue, and does anyone know why it's doing this? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Pete AKA - fly guy

  8. Does the Microsoft Sidewinder joystick work with X-Plane 11?
  9. Great, thanks so much for your help!
  10. So I was on Amazon reading some reviews for Flight Sim 10, and Flight Sim 10 Steam. One question was what's the difference? Answer was that one (Steam) is a download (no discs), whereas Flight Sim 10 has discs. Another answer was that Steam is cheaper, but on Amazon both were about the same price. Does that sound correct?
  11. Would installing a Nvidia or AMD video card have to be done by a computer technician, or is that something that can be downloaded/installed off the internet?
