Microsoft Flight Simulator For Mac Os X

21-04-2021 admin

The fact the game is coming to console is already a step up from Microsoft Flight Simulator X which was only available on PC in 2006. It then took eight years for the game to finally appear on.
Microsoft's Flight Simulator only works on computers running the Windows operating system. There is no version for Mac OS X. An alternative for the Mac is X Plane (See links below).

To fly online with VATSIM, you will need to download and install a software application which connects your Flight Simulator with the VATSIM servers. There are several such applications, and all are free. Clients are available for P3D, X-Plane, Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020), FSX and FS9 across several operating systems. These applications also enable you to communicate with ATC and other aircraft. To do this, a headset with microphone is very useful, but not required. Text communication is always available. There is extensive information and help for all pilot clients in the VATSIM Forums.

FlightGear Flight Simulator 2020 X Flight Sim Plane & Helicopter Including 500+ Aircraft DVD CD Disc For Microsoft Windows 10 8 7 Vista PC & Mac OS X ESRB Rating: Everyone by PixelClassics 3.1 out of 5 stars 161.

There are a great many other users, both pilots and ATC, logged on to the VATSIM network at any given time. Before you fly online, you are expected to first become familiar with the various aspects of VATSIM such as:

Currently all Pilot clients are written for Windows except XSquawkbox which is only used for X-Plane and can be used in Windows, Mac OS and Linux.

Which pilot client should I use?

Please note that all pilot clients work in Windows. Swift and xSquawkbox also work in Mac OS and Linux.

Flight Simulator For Macintosh

My Flight Simulator	Recommended pilot client	Audio for VATSIM Capability	Other compatible clients	Audio for VATSIM Capability
P3D	vPilot	In built	Swift	In built
X-Plane	xPilot	In built	XSquawkbox/Swift	Standalone Client Required/In built
Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)	vPilot	In built	None	N/A
FSX	vPilot	In built	Swift	In built
FS9	Swift	In built	None

Audio for VATSIM Compatibility

In-built - Audio for VATSIM is already built into the client and you need only set up your microphone and speakers/headset and your client connects to Audio for VATSIM.

Standalone Client Required - Audio for VATSIM has not yet been integrated into the client so the standalone Audio for VATSIM client is required. Connect to VATSIM first through your preferred pilot client and then connect to the standalone Audio for VATSIM client.

vPilot - (P3D, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and FSX)

vPilot is a simple, effective client designed to get new pilots flying quickly with excellent model matching so that you can see other online pilots with the correct aircraft type and livery. Generally, it's 5-10 minutes from download to working, including setting up your model matching. Documentation is thorough. vPilot is supported by not only the community but by the developer who continues to make feature improvements, and is the most commonly used pilot client on VATSIM.
vPilot is probably the best choice for new members that use P3D, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and FSX because it is quick and easy to install and get started with.

xPilot - (X-Plane only)

xPilot is the newest pilot client built especially for X-Plane but with the ever familiar look and feel of vPilot (for P3D and FSX).

xPilot is probably the best choice for new members that use X-Plane because it is quick and easy to install and get started with.

Swift - (P3D, X-Plane, FSX, FS9)

Swift is a new pilot client for VATSIM currently undergoing open beta testing. It is compatible with all the main pilot clients and several operating systems. It is a feature-rich client but the instructions must be read

xSquawkbox - (X-Plane only)

xSquawkbox is a well established pilot client for connecting to X-Plane and can run on Windows, Mac OS and Linux. The download includes installation instructions.

There is a very useful FAQ here.
