Getting started with VatSim on X-Plane 9.22 Mac

Hey Folks;

 

I just stumbled across VatSim after wasting several hours watching 737NG homemade simulator videos on YouTube on my AppleTV.

 

So, my rig is as follows: Main computer is a Quad G5 2.5 GHz, 22" screen. Can I use a separate computer for the XSquakbox? I have my MacBook Pro next to me on the desk or I could repurpose some Mac Mini's.

 

My stick is a new Cyborg 3D Pro with Force Feedback (although, to my knowledge, force feedback doesn't work with X-Plane or OS X)...

 

Any recommendations on headsets with mic, or should I use the iSight for audio in?

 

Thanks!

 

Vic

Correction on my stick.... it's a Logitech Force 3D Pro.

I'd imagine you could network the MBP to run XSquawk on that. As far as audio, I use my MacBook's audio-in, which is probably the same as your external iSight's.

 

Hope this helps.
