OS X: X-Plane 10 Updates

[MacsRgr8]

The dream:
New Mac Pro and Titan grfx... all fully supported, and with gr8 OS X drivers.

The reality:
Stuck with Mac Pro '08, 8 x 2.8 GHz, 16 GB RAM, Radeon 7950 3 GB VRAM (Mac edition).
This Mac is a gr8 machine. The best investment ever. 5 years old.

But.... KLGA & KJFK Manhattan or EHAM (pay ware) etc... gets 20 FPS max if I set the rendering such, that I like it. Problem is that other airports do reach >30 fps with the same settings, so I don't need to set the grfx lower. Just avoid the biggest sceneries...

I am willing to wait what Apple have in store regarding a new Mac Pro (if ever...)

I tried picking various brains in the Apple store on Saturday...No news, no info.

Apple Store employees have no idea.
Hardly anyone outside the "Top 100" inside Apple know if and when regarding future hardware.

I was able to land and takeoff(without the cat) on a carrier with a 737 back in X-Plane 8 or 9( can't remember). Haven't been successful in 10 though. Think they fixed that.

I can land on the carrier with the Baron or the old crop duster, but just can't get it right with any military jet. It's the approach speed...You have to go in hot 160 knots + and trust the hook...any slower and the plane becomes unstable ( which it should) even the Baron is at stall speeds when landing on the ship!
