If you find Wine/VMs too cumbersome, consider Swift (the alternative ATC client for VATSIM). Swift has a native macOS version and works reasonably well, but it lacks EuroScope’s intuitive "mouse-driven" radar and extensive sector file ecosystem.
Swift pros: Native M1 support, no translation layer.
Swift cons: Steeper learning curve, fewer online resources, less stable than EuroScope on Windows. euroscope mac
