Mac FlightGear Not Working

Postby uae » Tue Aug 31, 2021 10:00 am

So yesterday I downloaded FlightGear. Please note I am running a top of the line 2020 MacBook Pro (Intel). Yesterday it wasn't launching, and then I just gave up on it. Today I relaunched it for the memes but it actually launched. When I downloaded an airplane, selected a location, and then pressed 'fly'. The app quits, and an Apple prompt saying 'fgfs quit unexpectedly'. I am running MacOS Big Sur (intel i5). I did once manage to get it to not show (the error), but no game launched.

Thanks,
Jaiveer Talwar

Isn't there an error report that you can share when you see that message where it "quit unexpectedly"? Without any more details its hard to see how it could be fixed.

A copy of the the first and last dozen or so lines of the log file might be of help for us. For help on where it is on a Mac see https://wiki.flightgear.org/Commonly_used_debugging_tools#fgfs.log
