Hi Henk,

Welcome.

The [Charts for macOS](https://navigraph.com/account/downloads/charts) download includes Charts for macOS and Simlink.

You should see the **two** actions required (drag and Install) when you run the installer.

You access Simlink and Plugin Settings etc via Simlink Icon top right macOS Status Bar:

Check the X-Plane path is correct in Plugin Settings as per [FAQ - Simlink Install and Systray](https://forum.navigraph.com/t/faq-simlink-install-and-systray/58)

Please let us know how you get on.

Cheers  
Ian

Hi Ian,

Thank you for your prompt reaction. I installed Simlink and it appeared in my APP’s map in Findings. However, Simlink doesn’t appear in my MacOS Status Bar so I cannot open the menu for entering the Simlink settings. The plugin doesn’t appear in the X-Plane\>Resources\>Plugins map either, not even after I refreshed X-Plane.

Please, could you help me again?

Regards,

Henk

Hi Henk,

We are testing a new Simlink for macOS. I suggest you wait for that.  
In the meantime please use [Charts Cloud](https://charts.navigraph.com/). It has the same functionality.

Cheers  
Ian

Hello Henk!

We recently released a new version of Simlink which, among other things, adds support for macOS Big Sur. Would you be able to try the new update and see if it yields any positive results for your situation?

Please see my post in [macOS 11 Big Sur: Simlink Hangs, X-Plane Cannot Launch - #22 by skysail](https://forum.navigraph.com/t/macos-11-big-sur-simlink-hangs-x-plane-cannot-launch/352/22) for details.

Regards,
