X-Plane

Ok, after doing a bit of searching it seems as if my only option for a flight sim on a Mac is X-Plane.

I downloaded the demo and it seems pretty good but I was just wondering if anyone could provide a little more detail from a user-experience perspective before I go and send off for the DVD. The 6 minute preview is just not enough to get a good feel of the thing!

I really want it to practice all my emergency drills and manouvers so that I don't go too rusty if the weather goes bad here in the UK (Which it already is!). I'm not too fussed about it being photo-realistic, having mega high frame-reates etc. Just a working, realistic simulator. Also I have read that there is a real-time, live ATC plug-in that you can use, any more on that would be good too.

I did a quick search on the forums here to see if there was any related discussions but they all seem to be geared towards Microsoft Flight Sim...

Cheers in advance folks!
