Littlenavmap & littleXp connected but not seeing aircraft

[homelyn 0]

Hi guys, I am having a problem....

I'm running X-plane11.5 on an Imac running Catalina.

LittleNavMap V2.4.5 LittleXP connect V1.0.19

LNM loads up fine, L~NC connects as does LN XPconnect but I just cannot see my aircraft on loading X-Plane.

The plugin does not show in plugin admin, is there something i am missing please? Is it Catalina, XP 11.5 or LNM?

any ideas would be most welcome

Thanks

Hi,

the plugin was not loaded if you cannot see it in the X-Plane plugin manager.

This is one of the typical the Catalina problems. See also here: https://www.x-plane.com/kb/fixing-x-plane-11-sandboxing-on-macos-catalina/

You can clear the quarantine flag as follows (replace YOURXPLANEPATH with the path according to your installation).
Open a terminal and then enter following commands:

cd "YOURXPLANEPATH/X-Plane 11/Resources/plugins/Little Xpconnect"

this changes (cd = change directory) the current folder in the terminal to the given folder. The folder has to be put in quotes since it usually contains spaces. Do not omit these.

Now run

sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine *

Do not omit the * and make sure you're in the right folder. You can enter pwd in the terminal to check this.
sudo is a command that allows you to run other commands as administrator. Therefore, it asks for your password.
xattr changes attributes. -r instructs xattr to change all subfolders too and -d com.apple.quarantine tells it to delete the quarantine flag.
