It seems to me that X-Plane users are playing games as well, otherwise they would not be comparing X-Plane rendering to other games rendering. X-Plane users also seem to be aiming at high end machines to get the most out of it, which brings us to the same game machines configurations again.

yes. We are doing 64 bits on all 3 operating systems.

But are Steam’s users the same as ours? I think we may be a bit outside the games industry demographically.

You will be pleased to know that just now I wrote 8 lines of code!

agreed, generic un realistic airports for the major cities/ intl airports that we all know would be a fail. It is great that developers are cranking out packages of high quality. I foresee by the end of the year and this time next year we will have a great deal of nice looking custom airports.

Mac stats: of paying customers running X-Plane 10.04r3, 70% 10.7, 30% 10.6, < 1% 10.5. Good thing too, 10.5 has funky drivers. (For example, FXAA just doesn't work on 10.5.) But 32 bit hw can run 10.6 and 10.5 can run 64-bit apps. 32-bit macs are all old though - they don't need 64 bits to max out hw.
