== | In October 2014, Apple released OS X 10.10 Yosemite. Unfortunately, one of the frameworks the [[FlightGear Mac OS X Launcher|old FlightGear Mac launcher]] relied upon, called {{wikipedia|RubyCocoa}}, was removed, making the FlightGear Mac launcher incompatible with OS X Yosemite. James Turner started work on a solution for the then-upcoming FlightGear v3.4 release. He added a simple launcher using Qt to the main process, run before the OSG window would be created. It was released with FG 3.4 as a Mac-only feature. | ||

- | After FlightGear 3.4, it was decided to that this temporary Mac-only launcher would be developed into a replacement for [[FGRun]] and that it would become part of the plan for updating FlightGear Graphical User Interface. In FlightGear v3.6, it became available for all platforms, and has continued to be developed, enhanced, and refined. | ||
