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 it incompatible with OS X Yosemite. James Turner started work on a solution for the then-upcoming 3.4 release. He added a simple launcher using Qt, run before the main window would be created. It was released with FlightGear 3.4 as a Mac-only feature. | In October 2014, Apple released OS X 10.10 Yosemite.
