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.

PIC Coastal Classic Yacht Race 2025

Welcome back to Auckland for the 2025 PIC Coastal Classic! In partnership with the New Zealand Multihull Yacht Club, Sailonline is thrilled to race this iconic 118nm dash to Russell. First sailed in 1982 and inspired by early powerboat runs, it’s now a legendary multihull showdown. This year we race Ocean 50 foiling trimarans—fast, agile, and built for offshore performance. Expect tactical challenges, adrenaline-fueled downwind legs, and nail-biting lulls. Finish line rewards? Bacon butties, rum, and bragging rights in beautiful Russell!

Port Huron to Mackinac 2025


First run in 1925, the race from Huron to Mackinac is considered to be the world's longest consecutively run freshwater sailing race. Let's go - 260nm in X-362 Sport's awaits!!
Throw away unnecessary ballast from your boats. Fresh water has less buoyancy, which means greater draft and greater resistance to movement, which means lower speeds, etc.😊

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Carnarvon to Dondra


From here, our home in Bharatavarṣa is now north west of us – said Sinbad to his fellow balloonists. Perhaps we can ride the wind first further north, and then catch the winds that every year bring the rain, perhaps not. It’s 2600nm and we could be aloft awhile, so, Master el-Quarters, victuals only, no sandbags, provisioning the giant hamper. It will be not a picnic!

Camel or Balloon 2025 - Khartoum to N'Djamena


As there is a lull in the calendar, your PRO has decided to risk an experiment – a balloon race over land, using a workaround to eliminate the recognition of water/land transitions. If it fails, the server may crash, and we abandon PDQ, hopefully after leg 7 of the ABS race to Suez has been decided, and before the start of the 1st OCC of Q4. Camel or Balloon – c 1000 nm from a field on the north bank of the Blue Nile at Khartoum to a field on the north bank of the Chari River at N'Djamena!
