Default Aerofly for MAC Computers?

I'm looking for a good Sim for a MAC. It seems the only one out there is the new Aerofly designed for the Mac operating software. Has anyone used this product? If I so, I would love to hear what you think of it!

I use this software and I love it, and I think the fact that it is for all three platforms is just awesome. There are lots of great sceneries and aircraft available for free download and there are plenty of expansion packs. The physics are very good but almost all of the models need some tweaking to fly just right/realistically.

This software and Realflight G4.5 are probably the two best sims available right now, and if you don't want to install Windows and dual-boot then I think this option would be great for you. However, I did suggest this software to an aquaintance and he was not happy with the instructions that came with it (skimpy and geared towards Windows users) and was not happy with the service from IPACS when he asked questions via email. I offered him help setting it up but he has yet to take me up on it. I have had great service from IPACS when having my interface fixed, however.

It's really not much more work than, I dunno, setting up an email program. Post questions here if you have them.
