GoFlight Interface Tool - Xplane Mac OS X Version! Do You Want It?

I'm trying to gauge if porting GIT over to the Mac would be a worth while exercise. If you want it, can you let me know.

Thanks

Steve

    I would pose that question over at the .org forum since there's very few mac users here. You will probably get a good response.

    Is there even goflight drivers for MacOS?

    If not it will be a whole new market for you and goflight because noone owns the hardware to use on a Mac.

    I should have said no current driver for Mac.

    Sandy did have a plugin that worked on Mac a while ago but it only supported standard datarefs and X737( the version before the 3d VC) 

    Honestly hardly anyone flies the defaults so by now  and hardly any dev uses all standard datarefs in their aircraft. There is definitely a void to fill  there for Mac users, you'll just have to sell them the hardware first :)

    Hey Steve,

    Exactly, its a very big job. It's not just GIT and the GIT Plugin, but I will have to make Mac drivers for all GoFlight hardware. I have had a few people ask for Mac support which has made me ask the question. I suspect there is not a sufficiently large market to cover my development costs.

    Best wishes

    Steve

    I put up a poll over at the .org forum in the Goflight section. There are a lot of Mac users there maybe you can get some feedback (hope you don't mind)

    4 code branches whew...

    I also wonder if you did go that route would then say the Windows X-Plane profiles also work on the Mac?  (provided the datarefs were the same for a developers aircraft?) That would be cool.

    Thanks for that. Should be interesting!

    I can't see why the profiles wouldn't work cross platform.

    Best wishes

    mac user here. i did install bootcamp on my imac to run git and get my gp-mcppro working again. I love git and my mcp-pro running at its full potential BUT bootcamp does not deliver the same xplane performance than running os x (i am loosing 10-15 fps)

    i would love to see git for mac.

    mac users represent around 35% of the total xplane base according to LR, which is quite large. BUT i presume mac users like design, noise free, no cabling, esthetics, so not sure wether the base may be large but not prone to build external hardware setups.
