What I've discovered is that there are a lot of problems with HOTAS 
mechanization in A/G mode - I have my controllers set up to work as 
realistically as possible and am using generic key assignments like "TMS 
Forward" etc. - for ex.; with TMS Forward in A/G I'm getting A/A radar 
Boresight just like in A/A mode vice Lock Target.  I may be able to 
"correct" some of the problems using ControllerMate, but it will take 
some thinking.

The only way I seem to be able to lock an A/G return is to hit keypad 
zero, but I only can get the first lock and then no more after I 
undesignate and try another one - and this may be the because of the 
"returns replay" problem that you're seeing.  I can use CCIP mode ok it 
seems, but I doubt Auto will work well for me unless I'm bombing a 
steerpoint.

I haven't tried any network play yet, but I have a colleague at work 
whom has just gotten a Mac Mini and is setting it up for Falcon - once 
he gets going we plan to give it a try - I'll let you know how it goes.

I'm not sure how many people really know that the OS X version is out 
there.  None of the people in the Falcon 4.0 Mac forums I used to haunt 
seem to have returned along with this release.  I'm really hoping that 
they do, and that Graphsim keeps working to fine tune this king of sims 
for the Mac - they've been pretty responsive to my e-mails, but they 
seem to be able to address only one single issue at a time, and I 
haven't seen or heard anything about future updates from them.

I'm certainly happy to get discussion started, and keep it going.  I'm 
working on building a cockpit to drive my Mac Mini/TV setup.
