How to play Air Command 3.0 on Mac
| Platforms | Computer |
Game summary
Air Command 3.0 is an air traffic controlling simulation. The player has to take care of the incoming and outgoing traffic on an airport, including take-off and landing clearance. He also has to make sure that the aircrafts don't crash together and approach the airport from the correct direction. The whole game takes place on a map where all airports and aircrafts are marked; on the right side of the screen is a list of all planes and their destination. When clicking on the entries a menu pops up where the player can give commands like changing the height. When something's about to go wrong the player receives a warning so he can react.

Play Air Command 3.0 on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Air Command 3.0 on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.
Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.
Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
