This is my understanding...the newest MacBook and MacBook Pros have both an NVIDIA video card and integrated Intel HD
How does the 9400 graphics work with X-Plane?

I get very good performance out of X-Plane with my Core i7 machine.I don't know. I don't use my MacBook Pro for X-Plane. I use a Mac Pro.
It sounds like the 9400M would do okay as long as you keep X-Plane's renderings a little lower.
If you want to get better performance from the same video card (if it is Nvidia), run X-Plane with Windows under Boot Camp.

MS FSX is not bad with Win 7 64 bit, but I prefer X-Plane.
I have a Mac Pro 2x2.8 Quad Core 6GB Memory and an ATI Radeon HD 2600 graphics card and I am running 10.5.8 Is X-Plane going to run slow on this or do I need to upgrade the graphics card. If anyone knows please let me know. Thanks
I made the following graph just for you (per MacWorld):
I use Phoenix via VMware Fusion running Windows XP. I connect to my Spektrum DX7 controller. Works great.I fly radio control planes and use a flight simulator from Aerofly and it runs great with my computer.
Only complaint, is that the developer has the collective move the wrong way for helicopters. Up should be pitch up and not pitch down.
Thanks, but too much work.Have you seen the helicopter forums at forums.x-plane.org?
Maybe you could register your complaint there.
A guy called brett s seems to be the helicopter guru.
... if you have flown real helicopters.
Thanks, but too much work.
E-mailed the company with the suggestion that they make the collective realistic or at least have the option to choose.
In all the "real" helicopters that I have flown, not one has a collective operate the way X-Plane does. It results in backwards (reverse) inputs for maneuvers and really messes up your mind if you have flown real helicopters.
Thanks for the tip.Assuming you're using a joystick of some sort, you can reverse control directions in the joystick setup. Does that not do what you want?
Hmmm... Interesting. Thanks.Hmmm... If you want a realistic helicopter simulation (combat) you should try "Black Shark";

Windows only, though!

Hello, my name is sushi and I'm flying impaired.Everything you crazy helicopter guys do is backwards anyway - and now you're whining about which direction the collective moves? Bah!
It looks like X-Plane 10 might get released by the end of this year.
It has been totally rewritten.
Hi!
can I use a Wingman joystick with my MacBook Pro and X-Plane?
Off to research, but someone might know here from expereince!

I have one and it does not work that great with Xplane. I works fantastic with FSX, which is what I fly the most. For me it's the most realistic.Hi!
