Mac M1/M2 build for X-Plane 12 #82

ExtPlane is a wonderful thing. X-Plane 12 support would be great.

Since X-Plane 12 runs natively on Apple Silicon, there's a compelling reason, for some users, to use X-Plane 12. But it requires that plug-ins are recompiled otherwise X-Plane has to run in Rosetta.

Agreed. Anyone got a Mac development environment to do a build?

I still haven't upgraded to XP12, but I suppose the plugin should work without changes on win/lin platforms.

Hello Simon, I can confirm IT IS working in XP12, at least one Windows. All my selfwriten Software, what depends on ExtPlane, are running without any Problems! Regards Piki

Hello, @Piki55

Yes, ExtPlane will work fine in X-Plane 12 on Windows. On Apple Silicon M1/M2 Macs, however, X-Plane 12 must be run in an emulation mode that impacts frame rate. To run X-Plane 12 in native M1/M2 mode, ExtPlane needs to be recompiled.
