Post by: N/A on April 04, 2010, 12:25:13 pm

Is it possible to run FS2 mods on a Mac? I want to try a mod, but it's a .exe.

Care to tell the name of such a mod?

It is indeed. All you need is a Mac build of FSOpen and the mod's VP files. Which mod? Is it an .exe installer?

I was trying to use the Babylon Project mod. I think it was a .exe installer.

Do you know where I can get just the files?

Slight nitpick: TBP is not a mod at least in the meaning that I use. You don't install it as a mod to FS2. It is a full game, that must be kept separate from FS2.

It won't let me download it.

I get this screen:

Right click, save as. You'll need to open it with a Mac-compatible 7zip extractor.
