I wish I had FSX, but alas I'm a mac guy. Baytower makes an rv7 add-on for FSX. This has been posted before, but there looks to be a growing number of skins...

Look at this stable of virtual rv's, recognize any?

My only question: who is this chick flying my plane?

I've been an FSX guy for a long time but since your a Mac guy you should try X-Plane 10! I just got it a month ago (runs on Macs and PCs) and it's absolutely amazing (lots of improvements over x-plane 9). It even has a bunch of RVs to fly (very basic though).

Ya they have released the RV7 officially now. Fantastic model.

If you want FSX on your Mac, it's easy. Just use Boot Camp for MAC... http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/

Super easy to set up and you can run Windows 7 and run FSX no problem. As long as your Mac is semi-recent, it will be fine. You just can't max the details sliders. Apple includes custom drivers for Windows 7 and did a great job with the install instructions. From then on you can move between IOS and Win7. Do not try this with Paralells. FSX wants all the juice you can give it. If you are going to run FSX, you will want to get some ORBX scenery to make the view from the RV7 nice. I recommend the Pacific North West. These guys are the very best in VFR scenery. Very accurate and convincing.

They have demos too. So. Try that first if you want.

The upgraded water, clouds and skies are an upgrade from Real Environment Extreme...
