Does this show multiple locations by airport code?

unfortunately it can no longer be found anywhere
Why?? Just try this, for example: https://www.softyupdates.com/2020/04/ad ... 00363.html
wait if I install this version right now, Yowindow will work? Right now I have all flash uninstalled
I have this version now, and yes, YoWindow works on my laptop with Windows 7 and on my mother's PC with Windows 10 :) The Chinese version suggested by remco03270 is not too new as all the versions for China work with Flash, but with the Chinese version you have to use VPN, as StephieQueen said.

So to sum up how to get YoWindow to work with this work around with Windows:

Go to https://www.flash.cn/english
Click "Need Flash Player for a Different Computer?"
For "Step 1," select "Windows."
For "Step 2," select "For Internet Explorer - ActiveX"
Download and install
Open YoWindow! It should work!
If you're a premium member who paid, you might need to re-enter your payment code.

If you restart your computer and get the whole "flash player not compatible for this region" thing, you can do this:

Get a VPN like ExpressVPN or NordVPN
Close YoWindow completely - I use Task Manager (CTL+ALT+DEL) and right click "YoWindow" to "End Task."
Use your VPN and connect to literally anywhere else in the world.
Open YoWindow - it should be working
You can disconnect from your VPN at this point. It will still work until you restart again.

Thanks to remco03270 and SchwarzeMotte for doing the majority of the work figuring this out.

None of these workarounds seem to work.
All Flash Version that are available to download don't work, either their download links redirect you to Adobes "End Of Life" page, or you start the installer and an error appears which also leads you to adobes "end of life" page.

the flash.cn site is wierd.
I have to reconnect to a VPN every time I restart my computer.
Also sometimes the flash.cn version opens a window with chinese articles.
(Here's an article about this issue: https://www.zdnet.com/article/flash-ver ... ng-adware/)
So, I can't recommend flash.cn's version.

any other workarounds to get yowindow running again?

Well, I downloaded Flash Version 32.0.0.371 in January and since then I have no problem with my YoWindow. I can give you the link (https://soft-windows.info/12182-adobe-f ... i-rus.html), it is in Russian but the short manual has English text as well. It is in no way connected with China, just an old version of Flash Player without a time bomb and an update option made off.

Being portable it does not dirty the system and to avoid security problems it can also be used only for YoWindows Meteo, or for old games or videos in flahplayer. VidMate VidMate APK https://myfiosgateway.win/
I hope it will be useful to someone.

So our workaround no longer works thanks to the Chinese Flash updating (Boo!) - the site even looks different now.

HOWEVER: Someone provided this German link in another forum post and I was able to get it and it works beautifully: http://www.oldversion.com.de/windows/ma ... -152-26-ie

If it doesn't come up at first or shows a 503 error, try the link again - it didn't work at first for me, but I tried again and it did.

(I can't find the post that mentioned this link, so thank you to the person who posted the link! I'll credit you if I can find it again!)

EDIT: Found it! That link was provided by user Santana63. Thank you! :)
