As a recent convert from the IBM world (yes, I escaped!), my one major 
disappointment with the Macintosh so far has been the lack of a comparable 
equivalent to the Microsoft (Sublogic?) Flight Simulator V. 4.0 for the 
IBM family.  This is an excellent simulator that proved to be a good study aide during my private pilot lessons...

Has anyone heard of any work being done on an update to the Macintosh 
version of the simulator?  I am specifically interested in support 
for the Macintosh II family - ie, full color and a large monitor would
be supported...The lack of this one program is the sole reason for the 
continued existence of my IBM clone!

I welcome any information that the net may have regarding this program...

(Please don't tell me about Yeager's Flight Trainer -- I'm looking for a 
program that provides a real-world database, complete with radio 
navigation, weather, multiple locations, etc.)

thanks,
rob.
