Cirrus SR20 Entegra not working on XPlane 12 on macOS Sequoia

[jp235789]

Entegra PFD + MFD is blank and even when I have set the engine to run by default - the engine's not running and can't seem to find a way to get the engine to start.

Apparently the SR20 Entegra will not work on a silicon Mac (but it will under Rosetta, I am sure), although the SR22 Entegra will work natively on the newer Macs.  I presume that "they" have not yet done what is necessary to get rid of Gizmo64 for authentication - and, maybe, Gizmo is used in other functions of this particular version of the plane.    If you run the SR20 with X-Plane 12 in Rosetta, it will use the provided Gizmo, and will work perfectly.

Ben Russell wrote a version of Gizmo to work on "M" Macs - Gizmo64 LTS.   You can buy it for a small sum, and others (and me) have found that it works on just a few of the older planes in the X-Aviation fleet that would work in X-Plane 12 in Rosetta, but seem to be OK without Rosetta, using this version of Gizmo.  The SR20 Entegra does work, using this version of Gizmo. However, to be fair, this is not really approved by X-Aviation, and they are working to eliminate Gizmo throughout their "fleet", and implement their newer activation system.   Some planes (the IXEG 737 is one) were apparently using Gizmo for a lot of their functioning, and just won't work properly with this LTS version.   The only downside of having to start XP12 in Rosetta is a small frame hit.  If you are on a new Mac, it will hardly be noticeable, but may be a nuisance on (say) an M1 machine.  I don't know.
