Hi there! I'm reviving the idea of a HK meetup. I have been flying in HK since 2016. Will be out with the bird this week-end, probably around Sai Wan swimming shed. Anyone interested feel free to send me a direct message. Alex

Hi After fighting for two hours browsing all the interwebs ;-) I finally (!) got it to work on my Mac. OSX El Capitan 10.11, 1920x1080 The issue was with my dual screen configuration, and the trick that made it for me was that switching the second screen off is not enough. You have to...
