Version 1.12 (September 2010)

Changes

• For Vista and Windows 7 - changed folder where configuration files are stored to c:\{user}\.OziExplorer
• Added support for the new ozfx3 large file formats.

Version 1.11 (May 2007)

Fixes

• For Windows Vista - when checking for the existence of the HTML Help engine it was not found and this caused OziExplorer3D to freeze (it was waiting for user input to a hidden window). HTML Help is standard in Windows Vista and the checking routines have been updated and this problem is now fixed.

Changes

• Windows Vista does not allow programs to store configuration files in the "Program Files" folder tree. If installed on Windows Vista this version of OziExplorer3D stores its configuration files in the AppData folder of the current User. Note that this folder is not visible to a User unless the "Show Hidden Files and Folders" option is selected in "Search and Folder Options".

Version 1.10 (May 2006)

Changes

• Added support for additional ozfx3 image format types.
• Fixed a rare problem which caused OziExplorer3D to freeze when loading.

Version 1.09 (May 2005)

Changes

• Added support for additional ozfx3 image format types.
• Added support for Kompass maps.
• Added the ability to turn off the message "The map has not been saved ......". This option is in configuration.

Version 1.08

Changes

• Added support for the new ozfx3 image format.

Version 1.07b

Fixes

• Minor fix for loading some specific 1 bit per pixel tif image formats.

Changes

• nil

Version 1.07a

Fixes

• The use of the Elevation Offset control cause the map image to become fragmented, now fixed.

Changes

• nil

Version 1.07

Fixes

• some minor fixes.

Changes

• The minimum altitude handling has been changed so it will not go below zero if "No Elevation < Zero" has been ticked. This helps when there is "bad" data with elevations less than zero.
• Added a new option the the Map Control which allows the image position to be dragged up and down. Again this is useful when "bad" data has forced the map image to be off the screen.
• Added keyboard control for rotating moving and so on - see the help file for details.
• Added the ability to select the font type, size and so on for the various labels used on the 3D map.
• The Height Factor bar on the Map Control dialog has been reversed, up is now larger height factor.
• Added support for loading ecw images from ecw web image servers.
• Waypoints and tracks now plot in correct locations rather than plotting on pixel boundaries for highly zoomed images.

Version 1.06

Fixes

• Version 1.05 was compiled with Delphi Version 6 which seems to have problems with some code modules causing obscure problems with OziExplorer3D such as not displaying loaded waypoints or tracks in some circumstances. Have now compiled again with Delphi 5 and it should be ok.

Changes

• nil

Version 1.05

Fixes

• Fixed a problem where buttons in OziExplorer3D would not work after the program was minimized and then a new 3D map was created in OziExplorer and sent to OziExplorer3D.
• Fixed a minor problem where the splash screen would overlay a message box when clicking on .3d1 files from Windows Explorer.

Changes

• nil

Version 1.04

Fixes

• Fixed a problem with objects using the France Grids not positioning correctly.

Changes

• A new version (1.1) of oziGunzip.exe is included in the download, this version has been modified to handle the DTED data downloaded from NIMA.
• In OziExplorer3D, areas which have an "altitude unknown" flag were being assigned an altitude of zero. In this version "altitude unknown" areas are being assigned the minimum altitude value that occurs within the map section contained in the 3D map. This reduces the large altitude variation which could occur so the 3D map looks better.

Version 1.03

Fixes

• Fixed a problem when closing Ozi3D, sometimes when closing the program would do strange things, minimize itself and then lock up. Turned out to be a timing issue in the on close event.
• Fixed a datum problem when loading waypoints and tracks into Ozi3D (not when transferred with the 3D map from OziExplorer only when loaded onto a 3D map using Ozi3D's own load options) when the map was in a datum different to the data files.

Changes

• nil

Version 1.02

Fixes

• Lighting and Fog settings were not being read from the ini file on program start.

Changes

• nil

Version 1.01

Fixes

• Ozi3D would not load maps using the Transverse Mercator (User Grid) map projection - fixed.

Changes

• The position of the 3D map in the view window was determined by the elevation of the map and the objects (waypoints/tracks) it contains. If say a waypoint had an incorrect altitude it would influence the position and cause the map to be off the screen. This version now only uses the elevations contained in the map to position it on the screen so the map should always be in the center of the screen.

Version 1.00 Released July 2002
