I have a G5 under OS 10.3.9. Do I have a prayer trying to run F-16
Falcon? As I recall (fondly from the OS 9 days) F-16 ran best under
Glide....but I don't think OS X provides such.

thanks

Dave

Yes - it will run. I'd prefer it to run using Open GL, but I think the
only reason it doesn't on m machine is because I'm still using the stock
Sawtooth graphic card.

Other than that, it's run just fine the last few times I've tried it.

Chk out homepage.mac.com/macf4/ for great links about patches and
utilities. Also chk out http://sourceforge.net/projects/macglide/ for
OpenGlide for use under OSX. I have a smooth view w/ minimum 15 fps in
cockpit view on my G5 @ 1024x786 and OSX 10.3.9 ~ 10.4.1. Finally got my
Thrustmaster HOTAS to work (thx to Setmose) properly w/ Falcon. Next
assignment will be to tweak it for us w/ X-plane 7/8.
