	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

	Pipedream: Did 16 bit colors solve your problems?
Posted by pipedream Posts 11 Registered at 2008-02-06 09:19:15	2008-02-11 10:13:11 - Re: Map problems in Vista
	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.

Jakob's Birthday BBQ Race 2024

Sailonline had two founders and Jakob, the more senior of the two, has his birthday in April which we always like to celebrate with a race through the Stockholm Archipelago from Revengegrundet Lighthouse to his mooring at Baggensfjärden. Traditionally also, like other celebrations this time of year, this feast has been “moveable”, so on this occasion we will be racing on a Wednesday in one of our latest high-performance 40-footers, the Carkeek 40. Please join us then for this always tricky 30nm race. Grattis på födelsedagen Jakob!

Melbourne to Osaka Prelude 2024

Welcome once again to what these days is Sailonline’s almost annual virtual Melbourne to Osaka Yacht Race. In real life, this double-handed 5500 nm race between these two sister cities, one deep in the southern hemisphere, the other high in the northern hemisphere, is run every four to five years, and is planned to be held again in 2025, so this race is a Prelude in partnership with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organising committee collaborating with the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. On this occasion, we’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat for a long-distance double-handed race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across the track, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!
