I want to buy a flight simulator to use on a Mac PowerBook. This is a Pismo, G3 400 MHz machine, running OS X 10.3.9. It has 32 GB available on the hard drive, and 320 MB SDRAM. What would be a good flight simulator to run on this machine, and Where would be a good place to make the purchase?
Got a tip for us?

X-Plane is the only flight simulator I know of that's any good for Mac.

Looks like v 8 can't be run-you'll need a older version.
Try Flightgear.

There are others in the series that are more recent (see following), not sure what the system requirements are though.
