May 21, 2017 - There is no realistic flight simulator that can be bought from the mac app. Does not currently recognize any of the video formats available. Recommend using FS through Bootcamp and not the virtual Windows solutions. If you need to - try setting up bootcamp on another HDD, that's a reasonably good solution and what I do. In FSX I usually get around 25-30fps over Hong Kong Kai-Tak (addon scenery) with all detail as high as it'll go and using PMDG's B747-400 (complex addon plane). I had to do a lot of FSX.CFG tweaking to get it stable, but it's good now. FS2004 should be much easier for you to get running - and will probably run really fast on Mac Pro. But I'll swap over to X-Plane when PMDG and FlightSimLabs build their addons (747, MD-11 and Concorde) for XPlane. Until then, XPlane is off-limits for me.

Click to expand.Well, since Microsoft Flight Simulator has been officially dead for two years now, and the latest release is five years old, you'd think add-on makers would have switched over to the (technically superior) X-Plane already. I do wonder how 'Microsoft Flight' will compare to the old Flight Simulator, though. I've had every version of both MS FS and X-Plane over the years (yes, since subLogic Flight Simulator for Apple II and X-Plane 1.1, for which the then-current price was $499. As an Aerospace Engineering student at the time, it was worth it.) MSFS has been 'for fun', X-Plane has been for simulation. Click to expand.Yeah, I did have to do one of those tweaks. Basically, you are shifting FSX off the first core, which is often used by the OS to do things, and maybe other addons like Active Sky Enhanced which does use a bit of processing power to simulate real world weather for you (it does it very well too). That can eliminate the stutters you sometimes experience and keep the frame rates more steady (instead of the wild fluctuations people sometimes see). I also had to tweak some of the texture loading settings a bit to get it nicely smooth. I'm on Mac at the moment - so not sure how to get to the CFG file right away, but it's the AffinityMask setting. I think it needs to be 14 (AffinityMask=14). I'll get back to you with some of the settings I'm using. The other places you'll score big wins in performance are things like a very fast HDD.
