If you are having problems running on MacOS High Sierra, download the latest version from the first page of this thread, which contains some tweaks to avoid some known issues on High Sierra.

Works Just fine, 
‌PS never had a problem before with map updates either. Only problem was it didn't fill the screen but that was easily resolved by minimising and then maximising.
‌
‌Wineskin is fabulous and have used it on other Applications and always seems to work perfectly as long as you follow the steps carefully.

Hi, just started using on my MAC - when minimised to the dock SkyD will not re-launch and has to be killed via Force Quit and restarted from Applications. Is this a known problem? Using OSX 10.13.2 High Sierra on MacBook Air. Thanks and thanks for creating SkyD on a MAC!

Unfortunately, yes, this seems to be a Wineskin bug in High Sierra.
There is sort of a work around .... if you select SkyDemon from the dock, somewhere on the screen you should see a small title bar saying "SkyDemon Plan" .... if you double click on this, it should restore the window .... see example:

I seemed to be able to recreate this temporarily, but them subsequent attempts to print have been ok
S‌o a little confused, I think it is something to do with fonts - but can't do much more investigation until I can recreate it again.

I managed to install SkyDemon on my MacBook Pro - and it worked first time :-)

A‌ quick question though - the fonts and graphics look very grainy and looks like an old windows screen when the resolution wasn't quite correct.  Is this a setting on my MacBook Pro that is wrong or a limitation of the emulation skin software?

T‌his is not a moan, and I must thank the developer for all the hard work done so far.‌‌

Regards
