I use to be into Novalogic's f16 and mig 29 games, specifically for their online play. It was fun the whole squads, practices and wars. Is there anything like that for Mac at this time? Any new titles coming or already out.

Falcon F4 (OS9) is a good flight sim with missions/networking etc, or for an accurate flight sim try X-Plane ( version 6 or 7 run in OS X).

X-Plane if you just want a straight, realistic flight sim

If you looking for a fighter type flight sim then F-18 Hornet from Graphic Simulations is the BEST. Sorry Falcon 4.

However it is only OS 9 currently. An OSX version is being completed as we speak though. It'll make a great Christmas Present.

Are they planning on bringing Op. Iraqi Freedom to Mac? One of my favourite games ever was Jane's USAF. The graphics on that looked about the same as OIF, yet it came out three or more years ago. What gives?

Yes that's what I'm talking about. Do you know if the MAc version will have multiplayer? I miss the combat sims so much.

Iraq Freedom is coming to the Mac. Very soon, before Thanks Giving I'm guessing.

It is multiplayer too. Sadly I think it will only be a 2 vs 2 multiplayer like the last Hornet. Still great fun and there are lots of pilots on Game Ranger to fly with.

I'm sure it will be Mac to Mac only via IP or Game Ranger.
