hey folks

Week ago I've upgraded my PC and got Windows 8 OS with it. I have successfully installed SkyDemon v2.7.0 on it and had fun for a few days.

Two days ago I've been asked to encrypt my disks using BitLocker. After getting my disks encrypted SkyDemon no longer starts. After clicking the icon PC shows some action ("hourglass") for 2-3 seconds and nothing happens. I've tried to re-install but with no success.

Any ideas on how to get my SkyDemon back? Smile

thanks in advance!

No idea I'm afraid. If you contact our support directly and ask, we may be able to see if there are any debugging logs that have been transmitted to us. Additionally, there may be a debug file in your My Documents\SkyDemon folder which could help.


hey there

that's it - LOG FILE!

I deleted all files in the "Skydemon" folder (routes in the cloud, maps easy to download, just one aircraft to re-configure) and SkyDemon is back alive

thanks - case closed Smile
