Is there a flight simulator that can be run on a newer Intel Mac for around $100 or less using a joystick?

I would also want to first run a flight simulator with the same family of aircraft on a Mac thru a USB port to the RC controller box. Word for mac 2011 business cards.

Rating I don't think there is an RC simulator specifically for MACS by: Matt When using a sim it is best to use a controller that resembles a standard TX. Learning to fly with a joystick really doesn't help you much when you fly the real thing with two sticks on a transmitter. Kinda of like learning to drive a car with a joystick on a pc program.

Thank you for suggesting flying from the control tower for X-Plane.

I think what I want is an RC controller that can fly a family of various planes AND also allow me to fly these models on a computer (Mac?) thru a USB connection. Is there such a manufacturer that offers this capability? Rating MAC SIMULATOR by: majicmanpr Hello RC Fans!
