Anyone running Flight simulator X on their macbook pro. I am running it on my SR MBP 2.4ghz with bootcamp and XP home. I am happy with the performance. I have one concern, the GPU get really hot. It gets to about 80C or a little more. I know the CPU can go to 100C but I can’t find any information on the NVIDIA chip. Will running at +80C for long periods of time damage my computer?
 
I run it on my MBP, though I don't keep track of temps. I wish it ran a little smoother at higher settings, but I've heard from several people that it runs better in Vista (I'm running it in XP). I try not to run it for long periods of time.
