Running EuroScope on a Mac might require a few extra steps compared to running it on a Windows PC, mainly due to compatibility issues. Here’s a basic guide to get you started:
EuroScope feels laggy despite powerful hardware. Cause: The translation layer struggles with real-time refresh rates. Solution: Limit EuroScope’s refresh rate to 30fps in the EuroScope settings. Lower the "Radar Antenna" speed.
Remember that for voice communication, you will also need the standalone Audio for VATSIM client, which also requires a Wine wrapper or a native workaround to talk to EuroScope. Pro Tip for Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3) Users
