I'll post any updates here.
After a lot of work, they have something for me. It's a SLIGHTLY newer version than ours, but hopefully still compatible. If this works, we'll be able to move to 64-bit for Mac without upgrading the voice library for everyone else.
Bear in mind, this might still have issues under the newer releases of MacOS (the audio breaking up), but we'll see.
Hi Keith,
That's certainly good news! Any ETA?

Flemming

Unfortunately not, they sent me the Windows build instead of the Mac build. I'm still waiting to get the Mac build from them.

They sent me the new Mac plugin recently, I plan on giving it a try sometime this weekend if all goes well.

Here's my naive question: is this issue why, after updating my XP installation on the Mac the other day, XP tells me I have no plugins installed? I tried reinstalling PE this afternoon, with no luck, and then I found this thread! If this is why the new XP installation doesn't see the PE plugin, I'll just wait for the new, 64 bit version.
Thanks,
Doug

Doug, you can still fly on PE, just start x-plane in 32bit mode. In your App folder, you will see icons for both 32 and 64 bit, just launch in 32 bit mode for now to fly on PE.

Thanks, Brent - I usually use an application launcher, so I hadn't see the 32-bit version. That works!

Keith: Did you get at chance to try out the new plugin?

I also created 2 different preference files that I dupe and rename at the time of launching a particular version. Understandably, the default 64-bit preferences would crash my 32-bit version on launch and what's the point of running the 64-bit version without all the effects?
