From one of the people usually being at the head of the pack I now languish slowly behind when it comes to new gadgets and software upgrades and in most cases a version behind.
Apple and software companies today use you as guinea pigs to find their problems and only then do they fix them, In the old days they would never ever put out a product unless it was fully tested and complete – times have changed.
Funny thing is that X-Plane is the only software and on going updates I download straight out of the box?

It doesn’t affect X-Plane 64 bit support at all. Basically this limits whether you can upgrade your existing Mac from Lion to Mountain Lion, not whether X-Plane (32 or 64 bit) will run. Mountain Lion will run 32 bit _apps_, even if the Kernel is running in 64 bit.

As a side note, I hope we all learned our lesson from Lion: let other users try the shiny new OS first and find out if it’s really faster for the programs you care about, and what programs you care about don’t work right. At least, that’s my 0.02…OS releases these days just don’t offer anything that new, awesome and cool in the desktop space…the existing OSes are good enough that there aren’t really compelling features left to be done. So why rush to latest? It’d only take a week’s waiting to find out what you’re in for.

How would this affect the coming 64bit feature…

Works just fine on my GTX 470 in Windows (XP, Vista, 7) and Linux (Gentoo)

Thanks, will look into this and try some different settings for sure.
Good luck with the upcoming 10.10 release

Wich of course was known already exactly (-2 days) two years ago, when you first said 64-bit would be on the radar.

Until we go 64 bit, the differential memory use is a function of the drivers and OS design.

That’s a major shift and I am glad you name it that clearly: Get a windows machine, this once was a sim developed mainly on Mac and for Mac, but that is no longer the case.

Makes sense now.

But on win I don’t need X-Plane anyway. I could choose.

I really can’t make this any clearer.
