    I responded to another article like this a few weeks back, but for those who did not see it, here is a list of the (that I know are available) Flight Simulators for the Macintosh.

1) Harrier Strike Mission  - by Miles Computing - Fly the well armed Harrier on its mission to destroy the enemies island headquarters.  Very realistic and very exciting.  Real flight(!) is in use in the Expert mode, a modified version (with easier steering(?) is in place for the beginner.

2) Fokker Triplane - ? - Supposed to be a very good simulation of flying this old-fashioned aircraft.

3) Mac-Challenger - ? - Land (and land only!) the Space Shuttle from your orbit around the planet earth.  The graphic views are very good and for the beginning computer pilot this may be the best bet.

   I personally own Harrier and find it to be a very good simulatin although I find the graphics to be to stick-type (no real-life graphics).  Having not used the other two I can not give my personal opinion as to the best.  I suggest seeing your local dealer and trying them out for yourself.
