Hello, I ran into the following problem: to run faf on mac os, I was offered a wine program, but I still could not figure out what to do, after installing it nothing changes, the faf installation files are also not readable. Image

You'd need to run the executable msi like this:
Code: Select all
wine msiexec /i <FAF intaller>


Even then I'm not sure if you'll be able to launch the client - Python 3 has trouble running through wine. The client itself has a Linux version, though - if you're more technically inclined, you can try experimenting with it to see if it can run on mac os. This would probably require running things from source and editing it a bit, this can get you started:
