Some Applemac sims/games I have tracked down over the years:
X-Plane (OS X) (simulator/game)
Warbirds (OS X) (game)
FA-18 Hornet (OS 9 and X) (game)
Virtual Wings Professional (4 min demo) (OX 9.x runs as 'classic' on OS X)
This Virtual Wings demo works on arrow keys with mouse for all cockpit controls. As a procedure trainer at home it is great because you can run the whole flight from a normal checklist - any PPL would, I am sure, find it useful revision. The idea is not to benefit from great scenery or slick control, but to learn procedures. Even though the free download quits after 4 mins, if you re-load it picks up from where you left off. A bit of a bind, but it is free after all. I think it costs around £150 to buy the software.
Of course the Rolls Royce of AppleMac simulation is Elite Simulations software. This is available by mail-order in PC format only. It is however available from the manufacturer for AppleMac. I obtained a free demo CD a few years ago. Very expensive though and more a 'professional' learning tool.
Hope this helps.
Reading this through again makes it look as though my wife was right - I have spent an inordinate amount of time 'playing' on my computers over the years. How else would flying instructors and airline pilots get the opportunity to land a Seafire on a carrier!? or do an inverted low pass at 100ft at 550kts in a Hornet!
Sad but fun!
