Quarantine Fix on macOS

⚠️ Important for macOS Users: Downloaded software is quarantined by default on macOS. To fix this:

  1. Open the Terminal app (found in Applications > Utilities).

  2. Enter the following command:
    bash sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine <your X-Plane folder>

    Replace <your X-Plane folder> with the actual path to your X-Plane installation.

This step is not required on Windows.

5. Load the Zibo B738 and configure X-KeyPad

  1. Start X-Plane (version 11 or 12) and load the Zibo B738 at any airport.

  2. X-KeyPad will automatically create an empty configuration file for the Stream Deck in the aircraft folder.

  3. Go to the menu:
    X-KeyPad > Stream Deck Configuration Editor.
    Configuration Editor

  4. In the configuration editor window:

    • Choose Append to import a new profile (overwrites existing keys).
    • Optionally, choose Selected Append to import only selected keys.
      Append Configuration

  5. Ensure the JSON profile file X-KeyPad-SD_b738.json is located somewhere in your X-Plane folder.

6. Install the Stream Deck Profile

  1. Double-click the Stream Deck profile file from the downloaded ZIP.
  2. For smaller Stream Decks, experiment with layouts or manually add keys using X-KeyPad's configuration screen.

  2. If desired, customize profiles or add new keys using the X-KeyPad editor.
