problem with track building

[zoomee99]

Spectacular tool. I'm using 1.94. First point of a new track works OK, when I left click to create the second point of a track, the track line suddenly circles the globe horizontally and I cannot add any more track lines. I'm sure I've snarfed the config somehow. Any ideas from the forum?

Yes. I can see the problem ... let me check.

Thanks. I found when I zoom out all the way, there are two earth maps side by side. When I use the port race area the track tools works properly. When I use the stbd side, the track tool line shoots over to the port side race area.

So I'm OK as long as I use the port side area. No idea why I have 2 earths side by side on my map. Maybe I found a missing dimension?

Yes, if you zoom out all the way, you see two or more Earths.
This is how the program handles the rendering of objects across
the International Date Line. Not quite right yet

I am using v.1.95 with Velux Race. When I want to use track planning and click at any point my speed at Boat Attitude is gone and do not calculate (course and angles seems to be OK). This way i can not plan any routes, why? Thanks for any help.

....also I can not get proper Polars for this race including proper address at the settings. Thanks

mob...your track issue sounds like a similar problem to me...have you tried zooming out all the way...you may find you have two race area's like me.

[mob44]

No, I dont have two areas and still : when VRtool downloads new data from Firefox the speed is there (BA), and when I click anywhere on the chart it is gone!!! Cant figure out whats going on!

.....anyone, please help with above topics as I can not plan routes without speed indicator in Boat Attitude. Thanks

Do you have proper polars? (You can get some from my site)
If so, did you not check the "MyPolar - Collected points" choice by mistake ? (Winds / Config)
Have you imported winds? (from Firefox or my site also (http://forum.pacotool.fr/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=34#p170 or viewtopic.php?f=2&t=79))
