Terrain Editor Problems (Both Versions)
« on: August 21, 2001, 10:48:00 AM »
Old version first:
The viewing area sucks.  When looking at the terrain, the view is zoomed in so tight that a clutter object, such as a tree, fills 3/4 of the viewing screen.
I have tried F3, F5, Zoom in and out, etc. but I can't figure out how to get a higher altitude view.

HELP!  ;)


Beta V2:
Crashes.
When I first boot my PC I can run this version with no problems at all.  I can save and build without a crash.
If I close and chose not to save, I get BSOD and can't get out of it without the reset button.  :eek:
If I close and save, or save and exit, there is no crash. I can go to AH or AH Editor 1 with no problem.
But, when I open Editor 2 again, it hangs right after the window structures are created (loading the terrain/obj info). The hdd light does not indicate activity.
If I hit ctl+alt+del one time, it takes 4-5 seconds and then a BSOD pops up warning that the system has become unstable.
If I hit any other key, the BSOD falls away and I get the taskman which shows aheditor as "not responding." At this point I can click "End Task" and a 2nd window comes up and I click the "End Task" on it and the proggy closes.
From here, I can not open AH, AH Editor 1, or AH Editor 2 without rebooting.

You need to hold the different buttons on the joystick and use the throttle.

Just try the diff. buttons one at a time.

For me my button #2 and throttle makes me go backwards.

Hmm...

I can move around and look around just fine.

I just can't zoom out so that I can see a large area.
Are there designated commands?

My Joystick is programed so that only A1 is a standard joystick button.
All of the rest are keyboard macros.  So, button 2 for me is b, button 3 is backspace, etc.

No, I'm using a CH F16 Fighter Stick.
Just switching the profile on and off is not that simple.
I have to unplug my throttle, and pedals and plug my stick directly into the port. Before booting.
Then I have to reprogram my stick, shut down, reattach the Throt. & Pedals and reboot.
Then when I wan't to fly, I will have to redo all of that again.

I did find that if I set an area of the terrain to say 10,000 ft then move over it and come back, it will now be further away from the 0 ft spot. Very odd.
