FlightGear will not let me launch

Postby tazook10 » Sun Dec 15, 2013 2:54 am

Hi,
I downloaded flight gear and a few planes. The video shows what it does. I am running it on Mac 10.9. So essentially it does not launch, Did I do something wrong? I not very techy so I probably made an error...? Thanks for all the help. Here is the youtube link... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVBMnDGK ... e=youtu.be

Try unchecking the Atlas box. I don't think it's part of the install package anymore.

I think it might be dependent on your computer. My iMac runs very slow on Mavericks and FG is almost unusable.

What are your specs?

I'm using FG 2.12 in Mavericks. It's slower to launch, like everything in Mavericks, but runs slightly faster with better graphics. Mid 2010 iMac 21.5", Core Duo i3 3.06 gHz, 4 GB ram.

It should work fine. Perhaps you got a bad download? I hate to say it, but your next step would be to try downloading again.

Go to the System Preferences (Press Top Left APPLE Icon)-Security&Privacy-General-Allow apps downloaded from: Just Click Anywhere. then Launch FGFS, and just enjoy :D
