problem with track building

Postby zoomee99 » Tue Feb 08, 2011 12:11 pm

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?

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? :o

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 :mrgreen:

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.

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.

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))
