jdunbar 0 #1 September 22, 2008 Does anyone use their protracks with their macs? What software do you use? etc etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DARK 0 #2 September 22, 2008 i would love to know the answer as l+ say they have no plans on releasing a mac version of their jumptrack software and therefore no mac interface to put your jump data on the computer sucks ass to be honest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danielcroft 2 #3 September 22, 2008 I've thought about this too. Unfortunately JumpTrack uses MS Access databases to store all your info and while you can get drivers for Access on a Mac, I don't think they're cheap and definitely not supported by Microsoft (there's no Mac version of Access).

LloydDobbler 2 #5 September 22, 2008 Like ryoder said, Paralog is about the only way to go on the Mac. Works pretty darn well, unless you have an earlier-model Neptune and have to deal with the funky IR issues.Signatures are the new black. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danielcroft 2 #6 September 22, 2008 Or an AltiTrack which doesn't look like it's supported. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSE 3 #7 September 23, 2008 Altitrack isn't supported. i've written to both L&B and asked, and to Paralog. Apparently L&B prefers to keep it proprietary.Paralog has some featureas I really like. Unfortunately, the Altitrack is the only alti I like for wrist mount. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdunbar 0 #8 September 23, 2008 I have looked at this, and it will work but sadly the far superior version 5 doesnt work on 32bit macs due to a java conflict! grrrrr Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DARK 0 #9 September 23, 2008 how od you get the information from the pro track onto the mac? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kingbunky 3 #10 September 23, 2008 you might be able to go the parallels/boot camp route and run windows on your mac. i know you're looking for a native version but it doesn't look like there is one."Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart."

danielcroft 2 #11 September 23, 2008 Doesn't work very well unfortunately. The problem is the USB dongle, it's really sketchy so you get maybe one jump at a time & then everything gets messed up. It's pretty sad that there isn't a solution for this. My wife has an AltiTrack and we have to load all her jumps onto my work laptop. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
