Latest developements

A number of problems associated with foreign versions of Windows have been resolved. These problems resulted in run-time errors and were associated with alternate date formats.

I have been working on the next release (version 2.9) and expect to produce two version, one for NT complied for DirectX3 and a standard version for DirectX6. The majority of the changes will be to the 3Dplot functionality for better realism. The addition of clouds made a requirment for more fields in the log database and a re-organization of the user-interface.

Changes have been made toEditior to fix some bugs and to be able to extract data from raw XYZ files since locating a source of 50m OS data from e-Map.com. I also intend to dump the DEM compatability in Flightbook and create an extraction routine in editior to create XYZ files.

Below are some screen-shots from the latest beta.

The images are from a recent soaring flight on Inglebough Yorksire Dales. The Inglebough landscape was created using an image obtained from the millenium-mapping project at www.getmapping.com, raw XYZ data from OS 50m Elevation data purchaced through www.e-map.com, and the latest beta Landscape Editor program.
