There are two alternatives to this launcher; [[Yaflight]] and [[FGX]].  However, like this launcher, both are unmaintained and may have issues as well.
A FlightGear user has created a simple FlightGear launcher for OS X Yosemite (see [http://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=24781#p226332 Temporary FlightGear Launcher for OS X Yosemite]).  The other alternatives are [[Yaflight]] and [[FGX]], however, both are unmaintained and may have issues as well.

FlightGear Mac OS X Launcher is a graphical front end for FlightGear, included in official Mac binaries of FlightGear 0.9.10, 1.0.0, 1.9.0, and 2.0.0 onwards. The launcher allows one to choose options more easily than with the command line.

Unfortunately, due to certain required libraries being removed, the launcher does not work on OS X Yosemite (10.10) and above (see ticket #1521). Instead, users will have to use the command line (Terminal.app) to start FlightGear. For example:

cd /Applications/FlightGear.app/Contents/Resources
./fgfs.sh

A FlightGear user has created a simple FlightGear launcher for OS X Yosemite (see Temporary FlightGear Launcher for OS X Yosemite). The other alternatives are Yaflight and FGX, however, both are unmaintained and may have issues as well.
