Installation

Download

For the time being Sky Dolly is distributed in a self-containing ZIP archive, which is available from the following locations:

Older releases are also available on github.com. On flightsim.to)you can also get notified about updates and engage in the discussion forum.

Checksums

The content of both locations is identical and the integrity of the ZIP archive can be verified via the published SHA-256 checksums.

Compile From Source

Sky Dolly is open source (source code available here) and can be built as described in the build instructions.

Installation

Currently there exists no “installer”. So installation is a simple matter of unzipping the ZIP archive. Optional steps such as associating the Sky Dolly logbook files (*.sdlog) are described below.

Unzip the ZIP archive to any location
A folder named SkyDolly-v[version] (e.g. SkyDolly-v0.10.0) will be created, containing the main executable file SkyDolly.exe
That’s it!

You can now launch Sky Dolly by double-clicking on SkyDolly.exe.

Associate Logbooks With Sky Dolly

After you have launched Sky Dolly for the first time a logbook will have been created, by default in folder:

C:\Users\[Username]\Documents\Sky Dolly\

Right-click on the file Sky Dolly.sdlog in that folder
Choose Open with…
Navigate to the Sky Dolly installation folder and select the executable SkyDolly.exe

From now on you should be able to open logbooks by double-clicking on them.

Uninstall Sky Dolly

Remove the installation folder SkyDolly-v[version] (e.g. SkyDolly-v0.10.0)
Optional: remove the logbooks, by default located in folder C:\Users\[Username]\Documents\Sky Dolly\
