Phoenix RC Flight simulator - need Bootcamp, Parallels ?

[Frankie]

I'm getting the Phoenix RC Flight simulator and to run it on the Mac it needs "Bootcamp" or something like this - what would you recommend?

Virtual Machine won't require rebooting.

Virtual machines are pretty slow for most games, except old or undemanding games. I recommend Boot Camp, which is dual-booting OS X with Windows.

Depends on the game requirements, VMWare Fusion also has supposedly good 3D support. Best way would be to download the demo and test it.

Thanks for the comments.

I little more research and I learn't that Boot Camp is included with the latest OSx - I made a 15G partition and installed XP Pro, and have the duel boot available.

I will give VMWare a try.

Try VMWare or VirtualBox (I like VirtualBox), that flight sim isn't demanding at all on your hardware. It is pretty easy to run XP in a virtual machine once you have the VM set up.
