FS2002 on a Mac?"

Featured Replies

Please do not laugh at the question I am about to ask.Will FS2002 run on a Mac's operating system? My Windows XP Home, AMD 1800 XP +, GF3 Ti500, 768 mb of PC 2100 DDR, machine is up to it's old tricks of "Re-booting" while I fly FS2002. I thought I had gotten rid of it when I installed a 2nd case cooling fan which helped drop the temp 8-10 degrees.I have reloaded the operating system, reloaded FS2002 numerious times and even had it in the computer shop and no problems could be found. I have changed the NVidia drivers and even sent Microsoft per their request a "Memory Dump" of the reboot which took 12 plus hours via their extreamly slow ftp server.I know there are few sims versions designed especially for the Mac and that a Mac is suppose to emulate a PC if the proper software is installed. They say it will even run Windows operating systems but then I would most likely get those uncommanded reboots.I would like to hear from anyone with FS2002/Mac experience.Terry

Terry,What MOBO are you using on the home computer? I have two Soyo Dragon+ that are unstable with 3 sticks of RAM (3x256=768MB). Once unit refuses to operate with the 3rd stick, the other is unstable. The Soyo forum is riff with this problem. If you have 3 sticks as above, even if not Soyo, try removing one of the sticks in the third socket and see if your computer is more stable.Secondly, I don't think using FS2002 with Microsoft emulator on Mac would work well, if at all. I don't know much about the graphics devices in Mac's. Are they DirectX compatible?
