Found this while trolling about the net. Seems to have great reviews all round. As soon as boards are done I'm going to load up Windows on my Mac and give it a go.
PLUS! There's additional ship specs you can d/l, including a Space: 1999 Eagle!

So can I fly to Mars in less than 2 years?
Looks neat, I probably don;t have the patience for a real simulator like this, but its very tempting...

Orbiter regularly gets mentioned over at Egosoft, being a space-game and all. Usually it's mentioned when someone says they want realistic physics... it's got an FAQ that makes people cry.
It has time acceleration, quite a hefty one.Inquisitor wrote:So can I fly to Mars in less than 2 years?

I'm a big fan of Universe Sandbox so I will definitely have to check this out.
*edit*
Bleh, looks like they are now charging for that, used to be free. You still get a 30 min trial and it takes just a few seconds to download so worth checking out if you havent already.
