Has anyone been able to run Flight Simulator X under the new Parallels 3.0? I'm not much of a gamer and actually mostly use game consoles for any gaming I do. Flight Simulator X is the one game I like. I figured with 3D graphics it would work under Parallels 3.0. I was able to install the game but then it said there wasn't a compatible graphics card driver for this game. I'm using a C2D MBP. Is there any type of graphics driver I need to play this game?

Parallels provides the *virtual* graphics driver. If it doesn't work, its not going to work. Make sure to turn on the 3d graphics driver in Parallels.
