I was able to download and install tonight. The install went without a hitch. I created a simple TE with me and a wingie on a training mission. I flew around a bit, game my wingine a RTB order, of which he did not respond. I then looked down and flipped on my Radar Altimeter and while I was in the process of looking back up, the screen froze with a bunch of jumble garbage, and then the computer rebooted.

I haven't even tried to reproduce it, and I expect we are expecting this kinda stuff now. I'll let you know if it seems consistent.

Later!

128 theaters have reproduceable CTD in the left-down view (kneemap?) - yet no fix available unfortunately.

Dont look left-down in the cockpit!

LOL

Snake - I just emailed you reporting this problem! I knew I shoulda checked here first!

Anyway to maybe prevent the look-down-left problem by (temporarily) taking out that view (or maybe taking it out of the .dat file). I'll see if I can get in touch with Aeyes about this.

Yeah, would make sense, it did crash on the down left view for me. I got all the theater tools last night, and did some playing around with Terrain View, so I think I can start working on some tiling any time now.

RE:Tiling

Great - let's start with the ME/ODS terrain!

Sorry for the bait and switch a little bit. It'll take a bit more organization to really start tiling. I think it'd be better to get some practice with the ODS theater while we get organized to do the tile correction in Afghanistan.

Having said that, I've been thinking ahead a bit, too, and would think it'd be best to start tiling around Kabul, Kandahar, Mazar-E-Sharif, and Jalalabad. Maybe the ingress from the Sea, also (always good to have nice scenery while flying long sorties).

Sounds good,

Let me know what areas of ODS you want me to start working on, segement numbers. Give me a small batch at first so that I can do a little and let you check it out to make sure all looks well, then I can work on longer chunks.

Email me to nospam for ODS/F4ME tiling and I'll guide you to the correct tiles and theater.L2 file.

If u have ef of Sp beta ive gotten it to work by selecting the voodoo 1 & 2 compatiblity which removes kneemap access so one can see down left.

Thanks it works!

T Rex can you update the readme known bugs list with this fix.

Yep, but not till Monday, Nov. 5, although maybe sooner, now that I think about it.
