Yes, I have the latest stable version of Wine and Rosetta 2.2 installed. I can open the launcher, but attempting to launch the simulation itself results in a window titled "OpenOrbiter" that's just a black screen.

Thanks.
 
It seems like it's not getting past wine-preloader given the name of the application
 
Anything in the Orbiter.log file that gives a hint? I have no clue about Apple gear, maybe somebody else here can help you more.
 
Will check, but I don't know where to find that. I'm not getting crashes.

It is in the same folder as Orbiter.exe and produce everytime you start a session in Orbiter. Since you use Wine, I assume its the same as under Windows. Not sure if the experimental Linux versions differ in behavior or can be adapted into a MacOS version.

Looks like it was an issue with the resolution, decreased it from 1920x1080 and it works just fine.
