Does the thrust master T flight hotas 1 work on the 2011 Mac mini?

I have the thrust master joystick that I specified in description and I have just ordered a secondhand 2011 Mac mini I want to play the up-and-coming Microsoft flight simulator 2024 on the Mac, hopefully by using steam, there were two specific questions I wanted to ask, one was how do I do two screens providing a spread image, and also how do I connect my thrust master joystick to play Microsoft flight simulator 2024 on the Mac mini?

Earlier Mac models

  1. Flight Simulator 2024 does not have a Mac version at this point. The Windows version requires a system that is not compatible with the 2011 Mac mini. Doubtful either the steam version of the Xbox cloud version will run on a 2011 Mac mini.

  2. The joy stick appears to require a driver for Mac to work, you would need to find one in the forums for the joy stick. https://tmmacosx.sourceforge.net/#:~:text=changes%20you%20make.-,FAQ,USB%20%2D%3E%20ADB%20adapter).
  3. Since its a USB joystick, it should just plug into a usb port on the Mac.


If you really want to run it on a Mac, you'll need a 2018 Mac mini and will need to install Windows on it.


Your best bet, is to ask in the Flight Simulator forums for help with getting it to work on a Mac through Steam or Xbox Cloud Gaming.
