No reason they wouldn't the file structure is the same as all Macs. I don't have any installed though.

Ah thanks, just wondering how the Rosetta 2 translation would work with the Sports interactive file. There’s a logo pack on FM Scout which is next to nothing in size that you could try.

No heat to speak of so far, only heard the fans once and even then they were barely spinning.

My 15” from I think it was 2015 was like you said. As soon as I turned on certain games the fans were going mental and was scolding hot. Heck even my fan less 12” gets silly hot.

But yes so far warm is about as hot as this new one has gotten.

Do external files such as skins, logos etc all work fine?

[Why can companies such as Aspyr port demanding games virtually in full from x86/64 based systems to ARM yet SI can’t port a significantly less demanding game to ARM based devices.]

I literally do not get this. Why can games with more demanding requirements such as Civilisation VI or Witcher be ported (successfully) to ARM yet the only FM options we have on ARM based devices are FMM or FMT, and even then FMT isn’t even the full FMT, and it’s only available on tablets and Switch. Civ is available on phones... 

ive seen people say the reason why it’s such a stripped down and limited version is because of App Store regs and it needs to cover a range of devices. Well how come Aspyr are able to differentiate between devices and prevent devices not powerful enough from taking too big of a workload. (I can’t play on largest maps of Civ 6) 

I doubt owners of devices such as an IPad Pro would have any objections of paying full retail price for FM on their tablets, I know I certainly wouldn’t have an issue if I had an IPad Pro and would feel more inclined to move to an IPad Pro rather than upgrade my ageing MacBook Air.

iPads are capable of using Photoshop and video editing software to a reasonable level, yet FM, something which with even a past gen i3 and 8GB ram runs 35,000 players no probelm can’t be ported and instead it’s given a stripped down version of a stripped down game. 

on another note, why isn’t their an editor either for FMT? 
 

Well we all know that, it’s Microtransactions. I spend roughly like £75 a year on FM (FM on my pc, my iPad, IGE, RT and supporting Sortitoutsi), the cheek to then offer me paid features which a) should ship with the base game b) can be done with the editor on PC is laughable really.

Yes, I manage to transfer my save game from PC to ipad via Itunes but i don't think FMT can use DDT file. Graphics wise i manage to load pic to my ipad using the resource archiver but limit to 2 gb file.

I’ve done the images before FMT does work with DDT files. I done it with FMT19 and FMT20. The save just has to be created on a Laptop

Yes, you can via file sharing in iTunes.

Have you done this yourself?

if so, thank you. I would previously apply DDT files on my PC (which allowed me to get more players, whilst staying within the 3 nation limit) and cross sync. 

I know you can get graphics via iTunes file sharing (Refuse to play FM without them) but I was unsure whether it would be the same with Save files and whether they’d go through some alterations when cross synced.

[Is it possible to manually transfer a save file from FMT on PC to FMT on IOS.]

I always start my FMT save on PC and eventually move to it to IOS.

however, I’ve found out there is no cross-sync this year for IPadOS specifically.

Is there anyway for me to transfer this save file over?

I would try for myself, however I do not own FMT on my IPad yet and don’t have any intent on buying it until I find out the answer.

thank you
