It'll run on a Mac. Just make sure you get the proper file to do so, of course.

Mods work, too.

The only things that I think you can't do on a Mac are related to editing POFs and ANIs, simply because (to my knowledge) no one has made tools for doing so that are Mac-compatible.

You need the Mac launcher and build, use the installer.

As far as I know, FreeSpace (Retail) won't run on a Mac. But FSOpen and the FSPort will  :P

I read this sentence, and got really excited, thinking that you were talking about an EarthBound flight sim, which would be AWESOME.

Then I read it again and realized my mistake.

Turey, my friend it IS an Earthbound flight sim, its set in WW2, The name of the game is Aces High, He was thinking about downloading Vega Strike and I told him about FS, I'm telling you there is WAY more people that still play FS than EVER post on this board :)

Apart from the game engine, the Launcher and mod.ini files, all the files work on Windows, Mac and Linux. Turey's Installer can download the game engines for all three OS choices. But for a Mac, you'll need to manually download a Mac Launcher. Those can be found from Cross-Platform Development in the Source Code Project board.

Edit: A Mac Launcher.

Editzor: Actually, I think that you can just copy your installation of FSO to a Mac and then just get the Mac version of the game engine and the Launcher. It would at least save an awful lot of download time and bandwidth.

cool, thanks guys. Personally I don't have such problems as he does with a mac, You know since I'm addicted to windows and can't afford therapy or M/S detox :)
but I did manage to solve all my windows vista problems with a fresh copy of windows xp home and a real old copy of a format utility on a windows 98SE disk

It appears that you, dear tinfoil, are making such an effort.
