'''FlightGear Mac OS X Launcher''' | The '''FlightGear Mac OS X Launcher''' was a graphical front end for [[FlightGear]] which was included in official Mac releases from [[FlightGear 0.9.10]] to 3.2. The launcher allowed one to choose options more easily than with the command line. | ||
== Removal == | |||
The launcher is not compatible with OS X Yosemite (10.10) and later because some libraries required for it to work were removed by Apple (see {{issue|1521}}). For this reason, it was replaced by the [[FlightGear Qt launcher]] in FlightGear 3.4 and later. | |||
Users who have OS X Yosemite or later, but who are still on an older version of FlightGear, can either: | |||
* use the command line (<tt>Terminal.app</tt>) to start the simulator. Open it and issue the following commands: | |||
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">cd /Applications/FlightGear.app/Contents/Resources | <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">cd /Applications/FlightGear.app/Contents/Resources | ||
./fgfs.sh | ./fgfs.sh | ||
</syntaxhighlight> | </syntaxhighlight> | ||
A | * use an alternative FlightGear launcher. A user has created a simple one for OS X (see {{forumref |title=Temporary FlightGear Launcher for OS X Yosemite|t=24781|f=21}}); other alternatives are [[Yaflight]] and [[FGX]], however, both are unmaintained and may have issues as well. | ||
