Parallels and Macs

[skyking2088]

I have a 2012 iMac which I was using with Parallels (Virtual PC). I was able to run T12 and Murchison without any problems. Somewhere either an Apple update or a Parallels update made it so the programs do not see the proper video drivers. I have tried reloads and Trainz updates. Any suggestions?

Also, I also have Trainz on the Mac side. I would love some geared locos and/or narrow gauge options. Does anybody make add ons for the Mac version of the program?

TIA!

I'm surprised you were able to run Trainz on a virtual machine- it wouldn't work for me. Afraid I don't know what the problem is.

With regard to extra content, pretty much everything on the DLS will work except content which requires built in content from the S&C/TC3 packs because obviously they won't work.

I'd be interested to know if there are any actual add-ons in the nature of the DLC content for Mac, though.

Thanks. I know there is lots of good narrow gauge and geared stuff on the DLS. I think I'll sign up again.

My experience with Parallels and VMFusion is you give up half you system resources to run it. Works "alright" with older versions. If you have a Windows install CD, better to go with Bootcamp and reclaim all system resources.*
As for the Mac version, anything short of N3V DLC will run on it. Errors are a different headache as PEV tools will be needed to fix them and are only Windows compatible.*
Don't cut yourself short through emulators.
