v0.1.0 — Experimental macOS Apple Silicon release

Initial open-source release (MIT).

Download TCA-Bridge-Mac-AppleSilicon.zip below, extract the entire folder, and double-click 启动桥接.command. Python and HID dependencies are bundled.

Features: automatic iPad IP discovery, TCA Sidestick and Quadrant input, reverse thrust, trim and Quadrant Add-On mappings. Multiple detected devices can be selected; manual IP entry remains available.

The progressive sidestick response curve is tuned toward an Airbus A320-like feel. This changes input response, not the physical force feedback of the TCA stick. IGN/ignition and engine-start controls are intentionally not mapped for safety reasons. Thanks to Ajun for participating in testing.

Requirements: Apple Silicon Mac, TCA Sidestick AND Quadrant, and Infinite Flight on an iPad on the same LAN. Enable Infinite Flight Connect and Use Network Joystick, configure the control axes, and enter a flight before launching.

This is an experimental build; broader hardware and flight validation is ongoing. Standalone launch and discovery logic have been checked. No Intel Mac build is included. The launcher and bundled instructions currently use Chinese.

The package is not Developer ID signed or notarized; macOS may require explicit approval in Privacy & Security. Hardware switch positions are synchronized on connection; center the sidestick mini-throttle before starting because it controls elevator trim.

Source builds: run zsh bootstrap.sh, then .venv/bin/python launcher.py. To build a standalone package on Apple Silicon, run zsh build-macos.sh.
