Is anyone successfully using a SkyDemonMD device with windows 10?  Mine works fine with windows 7 but I cannot get it to be recognised as a device in Windows 10 at all. Therefore I can't sync with any planning done on SkyDemon using a windows 10 laptop.

There are not many people left using MD devices so you may not get much input from other SkyDemon users.

However if you go into the settings on your device you can change it so it uses its USB connection to appear to your computer as a normal mass storage device, like a USB stick. Once it's in that mode, you shouldn't need any special software on your PC to recognise it.‌


Thank you. Happily it is possible to sync this way for logs and charts, which I was not aware of. I still get a lot of functional use out of the MD so it's good to prolong its active life.
