The system requirements for Microsoft Flight Simulator X are:- Microsoft Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or later, at least 1 Ghz processor, 256 mb RAM, and 14GB hard disc, although more of all of these are better. You will of course need a DVD -ROM drive, sound card, speakers or headphones and 56.6 kbps internet connection for online play
Yes, you can run Microsoft Flight Simulator X on a Windows 7 laptop as long as the laptop meets system requirements.
It is considered a simulation because it is made to be like flying a real plane, and to have a fully realistic system.
Microsoft's Flight Sim X only works with the Windows operating system so to use it on a Mac you will need to install and run Windows on the Mac. There are alternative flight simulators available for the Mac the best one being Xplane. (See links below)

No. But it would be awesome if it were. If you have Microsoft Flight Simulator FSX you can purchase a flight model of this fictitious Helicopter from Nemeth Designs. Its a fantastic model that has a fully articulated ducted fan control system. Great fun to fly and watch the replays of your flight!
The Saitek PZ44 Pro Flight Yoke System Game Controller is great.
Saitek x52 flight control system is an electronic joystick. It is used for training as a flight simulator for those who are interested in learning to fly a plane.
The cheapest I have seen it at a store was $19.99 at Best Buy. You can probably find a used version of Microsoft Flight Simulator X on eBay for $10 or less. BEWARE of websites selling the game for under $10 as it is probably not a legal version!
