Dirk.I use the MacBook Pro 15" to do the graphic development for the NGX. I added 4 Gigs of ram to it and replaced the HD with a 750GB 7200rpm drive. (You could order one with the 7200rpm HD from Apple). Runs the NGX smoothly at KSFO and EGKK add-on airports with Ultimate Traffic set at 90%. Running 64bit Windows 7 Home Premium.Pete Mac PaintPMDG Graphic Designer

Carl,There has been a lot of 'opinions' on the merit's of running FSX on an iMac, here's mine. I say get the iMac, install 64 bit Windows 7 and install FSX. No need to over clock as the i7 iMac will run FSX just fine. As for installing driver updates, I was able to update the graphic driver on my Mac Book last week, I just downloaded the individual drivers without using ATI's installer wrapper. For hard core PC gamers the Mac line is certainly not a consideration but for the casual Mac gamer who is curious about PC gaming i would certainly not hesitate in trying PC games using boot camp. I've had no problems using my Mac Book Pro to run Windows software, Photoshop CS5, FSX, Thunderbird, Filezilla, Open Office, and with Apple's latest iMac hardware you won't have any problems either.Pete Mac PaintPMDG Graphics Designer

While away from my desktop rig I regularly use my Early 2011 i7 Mac Book Pro to develop the liveries for our NGX. The NGX runs just fine using 64bit Windows 7 via Boot Camp. The latest iMac is supposed to run 10% faster than my Mac Book Pro so I'd say, if you're going to buy the iMac anyway, running FSX should not be a problem. BTW, I'm also running UT2 and getting nice frame rates with I think about 80%+ traffic, and no, I'm not at liberty to discuss what that frame rate is that I'm getting ;-)Pete Mac PaintPMDG Graphic Designer

I'll add a few African Airliners to my list.Pete 'Mac Paint'PMDG Graphic Designer

CONGRATULATIONS!PS: The 8 doesn't go on the white part of the tail, as shown here:I'm picky about details I know Fixed, again! ;-)Pete Mac PaintPMDG Graphic Designer

Fixed!Pete Mac PaintPMDG Graphic Designer

Captains,This will be going to Rob for installer writing. He SHOULD be able to squeeze it in between NGX work ;-) Pete Mac PaintPMDG Graphic Designer

End of February. #3 on the ramp.Pete Mac PaintPMDG Graphic Designer

I think so. I haven't seen what it's supposed to look like. Maybe inline with the 8f and not the Dreamliner paint.Pete Mac PaintPMDG Graphic Designer

My old low vision painters eyes can see reflections in each picture ;-)Pete Mac PaintPMDG Graphic Designer

O.K. Ron, we won't release it this week. Pete Mac PaintPMDG Graphic Designer

Ryan helped me O/C my i7 930 in the computer that I built recently and being a Mac guy at heart had very little knowledge about O/C. I've been bitten by the 'bug' and now I've got "Galatica" running at 4.20GHz, passing Prime95 with a high temp of 78C on liquid cooling. A few months ago this would have meant nothing to me, thanks Ryan! No stutters in FSX with all sliders maxed, AI at about 80%, and in my current complex aircraft, textures load without pause and frame rates are not an an issue, "Smoof as Butta!"Pete 'Mac Paint'PMDG Graphic Designer

PolarAir LiveryGlobal Supply Systems LiveryO.K. Chaps!Go get 'em!Pete 'Mac Paint'PMDG Graphic Designer

That looks like an alpha problem. Copy the alpha from one of your paints that work into the one that has this issue and see if that fixes it.Pete "Mac Paint'PMDG Graphic Designer

The flag is correct.FYIWord on the street is that new and 'fixed' liveries as well as the paint kit have had there installers written and we're just waiting for them to go live on our web page. Pete 'Mac Paint'PMDG Graphic Designer

The point? They will be.Pete Mac PaintPMDG Graphhic Designer Backwards??? Unless my eyes deceive me the flags are correctly displayed on both sides of the tail.Pete Mac PaintPMDG Graphic Designer
