My G5s will not turn on when I press the power button and I am running X-Plane 12 on MacOS.  Log file attached.

I have the same situation, and there’s no Rosetta box to tick. Not sure what’s next.

Do you have a Mac with an Apple Silicon processor (M1/M2)?

[David E]

Yes, it's a 2021 MacBook Pro with the M1 Pro chip. Here's the log.txt from just now...

Thanks!Log.txt

Can you post a screenshot from when you do Get Info on the X-Plane.app file?

[David E]

Will do it in 3 days, thank you.

And is Get Info something I can choose from a drop down menu?

Yes. Right/control click on the file. As explained in the article above.

Here's my Get Info and another shot of the macbook's attributes. 

Thanks for helping Pils.

That looks like the shortcut/alias on your desktop. You need to go to the X-Plane 12 directory itself.

[David E]

Oh my gosh, I can't believe it was that simple. The shortcut "Get Info" didn't have the rosetta checkbox, but the one in the directory did. I checked it and now the G5s are working after a sign-in. Pils, thank you so much!! You are the champ.

Hey is there any way to make the 430 GPS selected course automatically move to the OBS in the bottom G5? Right now I have to set the course independently on the OBS after I start a flight plan. Thanks!

Yes, you need to enable the option for the GPS DTK to be automatically set. This setting needs to be set in Plane Maker for the aircraft being used, Systems -> Auto Adjust CDI to GPS DTK.

Thanks, Coop. I'll give that a go.

Hi Cooper, I can’t find where I need to be in Plane Maker. I’ve drilled down through the files in Plane Maker and tried to “Open” the x-aviation G5 172, but I can’t get any to open in plane maker and I can’t find anything called Systems. Sorry for being a newb but I am. I’ve looked through the G5 documentation but I can’t find anything that addresses how to get the GPS DTK setting changed. Working in MacOS, thank you for any help.
