That took me awhile since I didn't know anything about XP when I started and finding my way around was a bear. Follow the Apple directions for setting up a Bootcamp partition with a Windows OS, then follow the Condor Soaring directions for installing Condor in that partition. There's nothing particularly difficult in setting things up. (Moving files between the Mac OS and Windows OS can be relatively simple with Bootcamp, from the Mac side.) ![]() It's not a huge deal, but it does take some time and requires planning ahead. I have to store sceneries in my Mac partition and then move them over to the Windows partition when I need them. As I understand it, In XP you can only have a 32 GB partition and with the newer Condor sceneries that gets used up fast. (My 7 or 8 year old Mac hardware is getting a little long in tooth.) I agree with Riessner that if you can get it to work that way, it would be nice since you could then have Condor running without shutting down the Mac OS side just set autopilot during a long glide while going back over to the Mac apps and getting some work done! (Just kidding…)īy the way, an advantage to using a newer Windows OS under Bootcamp is that you can have a larger Windows partition. So, the newer versions of Parallels on newer Mac hardware might allow it to work. That said, it's been about 3 years since I last tried using Parallels, and it was on older, slower hardware. I get frame rates in the 1 or 2 per second range, at best, and the terrain has never shaded correctly. Riessner, I've never been able to get Condor to run well enough under Parallels - the graphics performance was too poor in the versions of Parallels I tried - up to 8, I think. I'm told that newer versions of the Mac OS (I have 10.7.5) require newer versions of Windows to run in Bootcamp, so that may present some challenges. ![]() Then again, I've also only used XP as the Windows OS. I've been running Condor on a Mac with Bootcamp for about 6 years now as for Olympia, it's always worked well. ![]()
