Hi Ryan, that is an XSquawbox installation issue, not an Audio For VATSIM one as far as I can tell. Please looks at the instructions in https://audio.vatsim.net for AFV-related docomeents and use the XSquawkbox forum section for XSquawkbox-related issues

 

For Mac, you can only use swift's latest Alpha (available at https://audio.vatsim.net).

Me.

There does not appear to be any AFV client that will run on the Mac whether you use xSquawkbox or Swift. But I can still use text through xSquawkbox.

 

On https://audio.vatsim.net/docs/2.0/pilots/xsb, it reads, "System Requirements: Windows 7 or Above & .NET 4.7.2, MacOS and Linux versions to follow with AFV integration," but I read elsewhere that xSquawkbox will be phased out. Swift runs on the Mac but I can't see how to connect with it in the Beta version, so I [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ume integration is to come.

Swift have an alpha build that runs on Mac

Thank you Matthew. I installed the Beta [Mod - Happy Thoughts]uming it was more recent than the Alpha.

As of 10:25 EDT on Monday, October 14, there seems to be a connection problem using Swift on the Mac. A solution is being worked on. Follow along at Discord.
