    Running TGC on a Mac (not using bootcamp or vmware/parallels)

    So there are ways to run Windows programs without using Bootcamp or VMWare or Parallels, basically you can run it without actually running Windows. I can run the E6 demo with SkyTrak just like any other mac app, so I was curious if anyone else was able to do this with TGC since I don't want to buy it without trying (unfortunately no demo) but I would be more interested if this was possible..I have a Windows machine that could run TGC but in terms of my setup I'd rather use my Mac as its a bit better in terms of specs. I'm not sure if there is someone who could send me the .exe for TGC for SkyTrak setup, I wouldn't be able to actually run the software since I don't have license but I would be able to see if I can make it run on the Mac without a VM or using Bootcamp, and if it is, I could post a tutorial here that is very easy to follow.

    You should buy it off of steam. Most Macs can't run it except for low settings. What is in your Mac for a video card and processor? It also won't start without a license code.

      Look I know my Mac can run it, I am not asking about my Mac being capable of running it in terms of specs, what I want to know is if I can get the exe to run on my Mac. To run an exe on a mac can be tricky but can work (like I have with E6) without using virtualization, so that's what I am trying to figure out, I already stated in my original post that I know I can't actually run TGC the game without a code, however I can attempt to run the setup exe itself and that is good enough for me to know if it will be able to run.

        How are you running E6 demo for SkyTrak on your Mac w/o using virtualization or bootcamp? I would love to be able to do that on my MacBook Pro too. Thanks.

      Are you trying to use Wine or Crossover?

        Windows is Windows and Mac is a Unix derivative. How do you run a Windows app on a *nix platform without some kind of translation?

          HTTR Look, if ProTee adds Proof of purchase to the download file which is incredibly easy to do. Machine id is only generated at install and tied to that POP. The approved purchase is now tied to that machine. Without a valid POP, a machine id will not be created. Machine id is needed before protee sends a license code. So.... back to what are you trying to accomplish? Not trying to sound like a dic* but I think what you are trying to do, can't be done with TGC. The exe file is not really a exe file but a download link...... which will not proceed without the required approved info like proof of purchase. TGC will not run or install without an approved machine id and license code, not even in offline mode. Offline mode is designed for people who lose internet access. You obviously seem to know a thing or two about computers, which puzzles me even more when you describe why you want the exe file. If you managed to get a download link and have it install, you run the risk of bricking both machines regarding TGC. Nice security, if you ask me.

          @ ProTee, I apologize if I am out of line or not accurate with my description.
