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.

Red Eye - Myth of Malham 2025

In 1947, Hugh McLean & Sons of Gourock, Scotland built a radical racing yacht for John Illingworth, soon-to-be Commodore of the RORC, to a design by Laurent Giles. With a masthead rig, giving her ‘free’ sail area per the rules of the time, and short overhangs reducing pitching, Myth of Malham went on to win The Fastnet that year and again in 1949, and to compete in numerous Admiral's Cups. In 1958, in honour of the yacht, the Myth of Malham race was conceived - a mini-Fastnet to the first lighthouse on a rock west of Cowes, Eddystone, rather than the second, to be held in non-Fastnet years. IRL this year it has been raced already, but this stops us not from “Red Eye” racing its online 230nm in Fareast 31Rs, leaving how to deal with the Isle of Wight open to your own discretion.

Africa by Sea 2025 - Maputo to Mogadishu


The fifth leg of our exploration of Africa By Sea takes us north along the length of the Continent’s succulent sub-tropical and tropical Indian Ocean coast. Much fought over by traders and colonists both well-before and after a Portuguese expedition under the command of Vasco da Gama first sailed there from Europe back in the 16th century, it is yet to be properly explored as a yachting destination. With plenty of islands off- and inshore, small and very large, there is much to interrupt your 1900nm voyage and visit in your Swan 65, from Maputo to Mogadishu! Race #1858
