TBM 900 systems.xpl fails to load on macOS 27 / Apple Silicon


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'm reinstalling the TBM 900 in X-Plane 11.55r2 on an M1 MacBook Pro running macOS 27.0. X-Plane is running under Rosetta.

The TBM activates successfully and Gizmo reports that the license is good, but it appears the aircraft's systems are not initializing. In addition to the strange grid/checkerboard propeller, the normal first-run/onboarding tutorial never appears, the towbar remains attached even after takeoff, and the selected livery does not render correctly.

Looking at Log.txt, the TBM's systems.xpl is failing to load:

dlerror: dlopen(.../TBM-900/plugins/systems/mac_x64/systems.xpl, 0x0006):
REBASE_OPCODE_DO_REBASE_ULEB_TIMES pointer rebase is in executable segment '.sdx0'

OpenGPWS, OpenWXR, X-TCAS and Gizmo all appear to load successfully. systems.xpl does not.

I've tried:

  • Fresh download/install of the TBM 900
  • Re-activating the aircraft
  • Clearing macOS quarantine attributes
  • My previous Gizmo64 installation
  • Metal and OpenGL

The systems.xpl failure remains in all cases.

Is there an updated systems.xpl or other compatibility fix for recent versions of macOS?

I've attached my Log.txt and a screenshot of the propeller artifact.

Thanks!

MacOS 27 introduced a stricter check in its library loader, and it's rejecting the TBM 900's main systems plugin before it can start. That's why the aircraft appears but nothing works. The other plugins in the package load fine, so your install and license are both OK, and reinstalling won't help.

This needs a fix on our end in the form of an updated Mac build. We're working on it for the upcoming update. In the meantime, the aircraft runs normally on macOS 26 and earlier if rolling back is an option for you. Sorry for the hassle, and thanks for being the one to flag it.
