How to play F18 Pilot Simulator on Mac
Game summary
Experience what it's like to pilot an F18 and land on a navy aircraft carrier. This isn't a typical flight simulator, it's a pilot simulator. Our engineers are dedicated to delivering an ultra realistic F18 simulator. Every aspect of landing on an aircraft carrier is in this simulator, including multiple arresting cables, pilot nav system, cockpit chatter, and more. The advanced physics system results in spectacular crashes. In some cases, failed landings are the most rewarding. Upload your crash replays directly to Youtube or save them on your device. Think you can master landing on an aircraft carrier? Try your skills at Night, guided by the vis system, carrier lights, cockpit chatter, and the light of the moon. No two landings are ever the same. See if you can rise the ranks of the leader board.

Play F18 Pilot Simulator on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play F18 Pilot Simulator 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).
F18 Pilot Simulator installation steps for Mac
Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
Step 2
Follow the installation process and make sure you allow Parallels in your Mac’s security preferences (it will prompt you to do so).
Step 3
When prompted, download and install Windows 10. The download is around 5.7GB. Make sure you give it all the permissions that it asks for.
Step 4
Once Windows is done installing, you are ready to go. All that’s left to do is install F18 Pilot Simulator like you would on any PC.
