Just loaded See You on a new Win 7 laptop, and notice that the 3D
feature while viewing a flight on a sectional map supplied by Naviter
does not show any elevations visually. The map is perfectly flat. *Is
there a setting I am missing or does See You have a problem with Win
7?


Thanks

Did you look in ToolsOptionsFlight3DView


Make sure the show 3D terrain checkbox is checked. Make sure height
exaggeration is not set to 0.0 or something close to that. It should
normally be between 1 and 3 or so.


If that does not fix it your best bet is in the Naviter online forums..

Yes the 3D box is checked and the settings all seem correct. Another
thing I noticed is that the sailplane image is quite a bit higher than
ground levei when the program starts up.


Humor me. Go to ToolsOptionsFlight3DView and click the default
button in the lower left corner of the dialog panel. There may be
problems with this dialog panel at times where settings get confused.

BTW you say the glider looks high, SeeYou can tell you the AGL it
thinks the glider is at if you select ViewFlight Parameters. Does
that number make sense?

Your PC should be connected to the Internet and you should hopefully
notice the SeeYou terrain data status showing updates running in the
lower right corner of the SeeYou window border.

Failing all that you may have a graphics card/driver problem. Best
place to deal with that is Naviter's support forums.

The alt above ground is a few feet less than the fields asl.
