So, as a customer, I am not happy with the solution being you are waiting on Apple to solve your problems (for two years!)... Especially when there are very plausible alternatives to deliver the scenery/updates... Why can't you put the Mac version on Steam?
I would consider a repurchase of Aerofly on an improved delivery platform if it meant equal treatment for the Mac... But I really shouldn't have to buy it twice to get the promised support.
Then maybe it is time for Aerofly to ditch the MacAppStore!
I really appreciate all of the work that you put into Aerofly. I just wish that the Mac side got the same amount of love that the Windows side gets... X-Plane 11 is Mac,Win,Linux and fully installed exceeds 60GB. I have never had an issue with updates on X-Plane 11. Maybe you can observe how they do it...
You have been blaming the Apple Store for your issues for quite some time (at least two years!)
If the MacAppStore is so bad, why do you use it?
Why not just let Mac users download updates from your website (like you do for DVD customers?)
Hi All,
Just checking in to see if there are plans in the works to get the B777-300 to the Mac users...
Thanks!
The other issue with the Mac version is that the update cycle is way behind the Windows Steam version... (no 777, etc...)
I am not sure how it works, but I am compelled enough with this Boston title, that as I type, I am creating a Bootcamp partition on my mac and installing my steam version to see if I can copy up the sceneries...
I have little interest in west coast flying, so if I can figure out how to load the Northeast (New York) scenery on my mac, I will purchase the Boston scenery and give that a try also...
Being from the Boston area, I am compelled with this addon. I am hopeful that someone will produce New England scenery with the same level of detail as the Aerofly southwest... The Boston title with the New York scenery addon is a great beginning. My biggest problem is that I fly Aerofly on the Mac... Enough said!
Getting back to the Boston scenery... Is there a way to install / use this with the Mac install? Also, If the devels could add the other two bravo airports (KOWD, KBVY) to the scenery that would be awesome!
Great! So I can now fly the R-22 on my iPhone and still I must wait to fly it on MacOS... Makes sense (said no one ever!)
Critical components in the Mac delivery code for MAS? Aerofly 2 code? Perhaps some of us can assist you... Mac users are well past 9 months in waiting for some sort of news, refresh, update, etc...
Creating a multi platform flight simulator product require a lot of savvy and sophisticated coding... Please don't expect us to believe you cannot figure out how to update it!
When is the love for the Mac version coming?
Admin - Thanks for at least sharing with us some of the issues you have to deal with.
What drhotwing1 will not reveal is that for some reason, they chose not to work with the Mac App Store. There are many software titles that can process updates and add-ons via the MacAppStore, so I am not sure what the issue is... My guess is it may revolve around $$$... Maybe Apple wants too much of a cut of the revenue?
Another flaw in drhotwing1's logic is that, just because the Aerofly declared the Mac version a full product, it will be received the same way by the customers. Aerofly F'ed up by releasing on MacAppStore if they were not willing to support. They should have just offered the Mac version as part of the Steam product, but they opted for the extra $$$ of a separate sale. Now they have a customer relations issue.
We give the same love to users of all platforms. Some platforms do have limitations though that in order for us to update them it may just take a little bit longer.
We haven't responded because we were all working hard to release a major update for the PC version. We will update the Mac version but have to navigate through a more difficult Apple update path.
With all due respect, claiming that Mac updates may take a little bit longer seems a little disingenuous. We have been waiting since February to simply be able to use the NY scenery that exists on the Windows side. Please do not say that this is a development issue. It seems to me you are simply choosing not to deal with the Mac App Store. Dare I ask when this new update will find its way to the Mac version?
(I get that you are merely the cook and do not own the restaurant, but you have assumed the role of maitre d and our table is taking way too long!)
It has become clear to me that the Mac version will receive little to no love here... (considering the lack of response from Aerofly and the number of users that have posted, with concerns for the Mac version, would comfortably fit on a mini van!)
--Crickets!-
I have both a windows copy of FS2 (Steam) and now the Mac copy. I noticed that both copies of the default install (only SW area, no addons) are roughly the same size ~33GB) But I noticed that the default world scenery seems to be of a higher resolution on the Windows version. Is this the case? If so, is there any way to improve this for the Mac version?
Thanks,
Rob
