Can not activate purchased plane

Post by relium » Fri Oct 22, 2021 3:56 pm

Hello!

I am the owner of the basic condor2 version. I'm fliying on my MAC via CrossOver. Today I bought a glider K8 and I can't activate this plane :(

I received a license key but where can I enter it, to make the glider available?

When I launch game I see everythime the button "Activation" . But if I'm trying to type the plane licence -> it returns me an error (see screenshots).

If i write the basic license key -> button dissapears and nothing happens. K8 is still unavailable.

Please help me :D

Best regards,
Yury

First of all, enter your *Condor* license on main menu.
Once activated, click on Free Flight, go to Hangar tab, select K8 and you will see a button to activate it. Click on it and enter the *Plane* license you have.

There is no activation button. Maybe I'm doing something wrong

You are not supposed to see the activation button every time. Something is preventing Condor from writing to the registry.

Only Bootcamp is supported on mac AFAIK. Maybe try that.

Omg, looks like actually It can work with registry.

So it is working now then? If you activate a plane there should be a subfolder with that planes key (not the actual key but a hashed version of it)

Unfortunatelly, no. Could you please advice how this path looks like? And what hash is used? Probably I could try to add my key manually :D. I still miss my K8

It hasn't worked. Once you activate a purchased glider a folder called 'Planes' appear under the 'Condor2' on in the registry.

No, this is not possible due to copy protection. I would suggest you use Bootcamp instead of Crossover.

If the activation button is missing, then its somethng to do with you MAC/windows setup. The activation button is always displayed if the plane is not activated.

I saw the same problem on windows, when there was zoom set at the windows - 150% or so. Check, if this is not your case too...

Can I debug it somehow? I don't know why the activation button is not displayed :(
