It won't work on osX. It uses the .exe file to start and osX can't read that file. Try a Windows computer to play the simulator.

As a long time Mac user I sure know that .exe don't run. I hoped maybe somebody tried it with wine ore so...

In my 2010 imac, the wine just goes stuck and after a couple of minutes, OS X crashes. So dont try it in wine!

The game could run on every OS, but the only executable actually available is an .exe file. Somebody know programming could create an .app file, making it available on mac.

I wanted to say: The problem isn't the game, is the executable: if an .app executable was available, the game would compatible on mac.

Again no, you can't simply make make the executable into an .app, it would still have dependencies to windows (which probably make it impossible to make it into an .app file).

use bootcamp, is it avaliable on apple's site. You install w7 on your mac and you can play. But it's not a mac version of the simulator
