Simlink in Plane 12 and MacOS

Charts Simlink/Moving Map
1

Hi,
I am operating the latest x-plane 12 on my new M3 MacBook Pro. I had the Simlink running on my last M1 MacBook Pro without any trouble.
However, when trying to re-install everything into my new laptop I cannot get Simlink to connect with the Navigraph app I use on my iPad.
I’ve read a number of the forums where people have had the same problem under windows but I cannot see anything for MacOS.
Can you please assist so I can get back to using Simlink to see the flight on my charts etc?
Thanks
Willie G

Ian,

Thanks for quick response, however, as I am using an iMac, where are the Simlink plug-in settings?

I can’t find these.

Thanks

I’m having a similar problem. Cant find the simlink setting on my Mac. I just re-installed XP12 and cannot get simlink to connect. It worked perfectly before. I deleted everything I could find from Navigraph and reinstalled it. No luck so far.

Please click on the Simlink icon image in the MacOS status bar

THANK YOU! I didn’t even notice that little icon on the bar. It blended in. All good now.

Ian,

Thanks very much, working great again.

All the years I’ve used Navigraph I never noticed this.

Must be an age thing with me.

Thanks
