Important Notice from FlightGear developers

This is a download page for FlightGear Mac OS X, a free / open-source flight simulator.

We have heard that there are some paid products that use FlightGear, and their web site or a starting box seems leading you to this site for either downloading the binary or support. It's totally up to you for paying some amount of money for software and scenery that you can get for free. However, we have never received any donation or single penny on your payment for such paid product. Therefore we have no responsibility for providing any support for such products.

Generally speaking, it is better to get FlightGear for free and buy a good flight stick and/or a pedal. Needless to say, donation to FlightGear is very welcome :-) If you already paid for such product and feel very disappointed by knowing FlightGear is available for free, we recommend you ask the seller (not us) for refund. See the official statement for more detail on this issue.

IMPORTANT NOTICE IN USE OF DEVELOPMENT SNAPSHOT

This release is a snapshot of the latest FlightGear source (git version), and it might have some major bugs. Thus, this release is NOT totally recommended for novice users. NEVER send me complaints on this release. However, constructive feedbacks and bug reports from developers and advanced users are very welcome. Consult ReadMe file included in the dmg package for known issues.

Source Package

• FlightGear-git - XcodeProjects - for advanced developers only

Keyboard configuration file (for v1.0)

I've heard that some Macs cannot handle throttle keys or some others properly. Thanks to Aj MacLeod, we can use the fixed keyboard.xml, which might enable some Mac to properly handle throttles, etc.See the link below to download the revised keyboard.xml file at the 'Attached files' section. Read the explanation at the tracker info for installation instruction.

X-Plane is the most powerful and accurate flight simulator available for personal computers, but it doesn’t just run on Windows; the version of X-Plane sold here at X-Plane.com runs on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. In fact, X-Plane is developed primarily on Macs.

In the past, we’ve called the Mac our secret weapon. Here’s what owner and developer Austin Meyer has to say about it:

People ask me all the time: “Austin, how can you compete with bigger companies? You cannot possibly stay in the flight sim business! You will be out of business by the end of the year!” (Never mind that they have been saying that since X-Plane was introduced in 1994!)

Part of the answer to that question is that I have a secret weapon that helps me develop X-Plane at a much faster rate than any would-be competitors. While other teams are struggling to keep their organization and computers working, I and my team are able to work quickly and freely with no computer glitches holding us back, unlike almost everyone else using computers today.

Naturally, I can not tell you what this secret weapon is, because I do not want to give away my competitive advantage!

The bottom line: X-Plane 10 Global is 100% compatible with Macs. You just need a high-end iMac or MacBook Pro. We do not recommend the “Mac Pro” as the top-of-the-line iMac will get similar or better performance for less money.

So go ahead. Give it a try. Download the Mac Demo today and experience flight simulation as it was meant to be—incredibly accurate, incredibly beautiful, and running on a Mac! Or, if you’re ready to move up to the full version, order X-Plane from us and get a copy of X-Plane 10 Global guaranteed to run on Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux.
