Hi jari Thanks for the report. I'm mobile now so will give you a quick hint to find the causes of these issues.
To get the GUI side log more precisely, could you run the GUI from terminal using the commands below?: cd /Applications/FlightGear.app/Contents/MacOS ./FlightGear These will give you all launcher related logs on the terminal. Fgfs log will be stored at ~/.fgfs/log.txt The crash on iMac needs to be investigated more. You can go to the Resources folder and run fgfs.sh with options of your choice. This will isolate the problems of fgfs from the GUI launcher part. However, it's good to hear that the fgfs/cvs-head works on iMac. It's newer than pre-1 code. Btw are you using what version of OSG?
