Dear AeroFly Users,

we are happy to announce that AeroFly Professional Deluxe is finally available on Apple computers with Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6.

• 118 Models
• 33 Photo Sceneries
• 13 3D sceneries

AeroFly Professional Deluxe for Mac OS X is available either as a full version or as a Crossgrade for existing AeroFly users. Details and pricing are available on the IKARUS website. The system requirements are as follows:

Is there any chance the simulator can run under Tiger 10.4.11, or is it definitely linked against Leopard?

My boss has long awaited AFPD and now still uses Tiger on his MBP.

Hello,

no, this is unfortunatly not possible due to a technical reason:

Only Mac OS X 10.5 features certain functions that allows us to properly communicate with the USB Interface or USB GameCommander. Prior to 10.5 these functions do not exist and therefore it is impossible to use our USB connectors.

Got Aerofly for Mac, and the adaptor for my DX6i...it is all working, finally!

I just downloaded a model from ipacs-sim.com but it is an .exe file which is PC only.

Can I extract the model data from the .exe somehow so it will work on the mac version?

Cheers!

Hello,

if you are "lucky", you may be able to open the EXE file of the model using a program like StuffIt Expander. You then have to manually copy the files to the aircraft directory. But again it depends how the EXE was created. It works with most models we tested.

Dear T. Hans

I.ve just been advised that the Mac version will not be available in UK until late November 09!
Is this true and does this indicate a problem?

Hello,

in the forum I couldn't find any indication on the compatibility of AFPD for Mac with the new version of Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard).

Is the currently available version of AFPD for Mac compatible with Snow Leopard?

If not, is there a planned release date for a compatible version of AFPD?

Hello orion8192,
I've got AFPD running on a Mac Mini with Snow Leopard.

Hi Cord,

thanks for the info.

I am wondering why there is no official note on this compatibility issue.
