2008-02-09 18:48:55 - Map problems in Vista
I have noticed that there are map problems when running Vista with both B6 and B7, If I start up XP with B7 everthing works fine.

Can you elaborate on your problems? Have you tried the workaround suggested for a similar problem in another thread in this section? (Changing OpenGL prefs)

I can't find where to set the OpenGL on my laptop. Maybe I don't have it. It's not a pure gaming computer.

Searching on the internet for OpenGL and Vista this looks like it will be an increasingly frequent problem!

On my laptop I did:control panel|classic view|Intel GMA driver for mobile (will be different on other computers)|display settings|color quality=16 bit

I tried fiddling with the 3D settings as per the other post but I don't think they did the trick.

PS it would be handy to have a search of the forum, or even the site as it took quite a while to find the post you referred to. Google doesn't reindex often or deeply enough for [xyz site:www.sailonline.org] to find things

Did 16 bit colors solve your problems?

Good question. That was the last thing I did and it worked afterwards. I had changed one thing at a time on the 3D setting and restarted the client application each time and I unset them afterwards (as far as I could remember). However in the past I have been through a similar process installing drivers etc and having failed to solve the problem put everything back as it was, restarted the computer and it worked!

In this case if I switch 32 to 16 bits and back the map appears and disappears.

Ok, I will try to change to 16 bits on my laptop to see if it will solve the problem then.

Cheers

I'll try to slightly change how I request the OpenGL context in the next version. That might do the trick :)

That sounds good Kalle. The best thing would for sure that it work under Vista without any fix for the mainstream of users i guess. :)

Keep up the superb work!

Changing to 16 bits didn't do it for me. I'll stick to my old XP laptop for the upcomming event.

Quiberon Islands 2026


The Quiberon peninsula extends as a submerged granite ridge a further 15nm or so beyond the La Teignouse lighthouse on the rocks off its southern tip, surfacing as two small islands, Houat and Hoedic, the duck and duckling in Breton, 5nm and 10nm beyond the light. Treacherous, tidal waters, but on SOL that daunts us not. Of course, we've raced here before, mostly Timed Runs out of Quiberon around Belle Ile, just south of the islets, and back, but this time it's a sprint from Belle Ile's capital of Port Marie round the foul fowl and back. A triangular course of 22nm, appropriately enough for Moody S38.

Roma per Tutti 2026


Sailonline are honoured and delighted to have been asked to partner an online first Roma per Tutti yacht race with organizing yacht club, Circolo Nautico Riva di Traiano . In real life, this will be the 33rd edition of this 540nm offshore race from Rome’s Riva di Traiano to the Aeolian Islands and back. Online, the race will not only be our first partnership with CN Riva di Traiano, but also the second race of our Magical Mediterranean series. A number of Mini 6.50s have been entered for the 33rd edition of the Roma per Tutti; so our own vintage Mini is also our virtual yacht of choice for this one.

Rommel by Balloon 2026 - Through the Sahara


Generalfeldmarschall Johannes Erwin Eugen Rommel may have been that chivalrous, gallant tank commander of legend, led astray by the Prussian military traditions of loyalty and chain of command, but one thing he wasn’t, was mad. So, let’s do it anyway – not stick to the coast and the battle for logistical superiority – but depart the oases of Siwa south west into the desert for Agadez and its uranium. And let’s go by balloon, it’s only 2500km (1250nm)!

Welcome to yet another all-new route. This next race is part of our Ocean Championship as well as the ROW series. Falklands to Tasmania, is like last year's island to island. It’s one of the longer ones 6400nm, more than half way around the world (and the Antarctica). It starts the 2026 OCQ2, and will be sailed in our Steinlager 2, contrary to prior notice.
