Hello,
I have a iMac Retina 27 inch-Intel i7- memory 32 gig-Graphic AMD M295X Radeon 4 GB-MacOS Big Sur
I run Win10 on Parallel.
All softwares are up to date.
After downloading and installing DJI Flight simulator when I launch it: The Flight simulator opens then shows briefly "Verifying loader version" then the white error Windows

I am not able to do anything anymore except "Abort"
"Retry" brings to the same window back.

It seems nobody had the same problem
I chat with DJI help but they said politely "We don't know" :rolleyes:
Can someone help me on this one.
Thank you

Its more work but you can Install Windows 10 on a USB or External drive using Boot Camp and run it more or less natively on your Mac. Parallels is slick and runs nicely inside Mac OS but as a virtual machine it will always have some limitations.
 
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\DJI Flight Simulator and run the UE4PrereqSetup_x64.exe.

Thanks... but for a lot of external reasons I do not want to use Bootcamp
 
Thanks for the link... lot of stuff :)
I used a solution proposed by your "Link". It was about to work but the process halted just in the middle of a download and I was not able to reproduce it because the system gave me always an error.
... I already spent too much time, I will try to find another flight simulator.
Thank you for your help.
