I was forced to switch to the nightly-versions due to catalina, too. Unfortunately since than I keep having graphic issues after downloading airplanes. Mostly materials will not be shown correctly anymore (just black and white). Scenery won't load correctly, too. To fix this issue I would have to reinstall flightgear completly. Is there any soon change (maybe official FG-release for catalina) in prospect?

I have the same problem; I installed FlightGear 2019 1.1 for MacOS Catalina (10.15). When I click "Fly" the game freezes and closes, then an error appears which tells me that "fgfs quit unexpectedly".

Hiya,

I've had the same problem with FlightGear; I have Mac OS Catalina on my Mac Mini, and when I click "Fly" it crashes whilst it loads the subsystems.

I'm just wondering if there's any way to get around this.

Thanks!

None of the versions posted anywhere have worked for me, I'm on Mac OS 10.15.3. How has this been an issue for months?

For several reasons:
  • If I understand it correctly because parts of the build for macOS depended on the Carbon API that Apple dropped with the release of macOS Catalina.
  • Bugs are harder to squish if they can not be reliably be replicated by a developer. Unfortunately, bug reports are generally to vague to allow that. In addition:
    • There are fewer Macintosh users than users of other operating systems.
    • There are only a few developers using Macintosh computers, possibly just one, and maybe not using Mac all the time.

The latest nightly (2020-04-02 16:02) has been working for me. A few program crashes once in a while, but for the most part it is working.
