FT3 zoom extents

graemeb

I have recently upgraded to Fractal Terrains 3, and have noticed on my first look at the product that the Zoom Extents command does not work correctly in some projections.

For example, with the ft3_example.ftw file loaded, which appears in Orthographic projection, the zoom extents results in a view about 70% zoomed out (see attachment).

I am running FT3 on windows 7 (64bit). Can anyone else confirm this behaviour?

It will fit correctly if the client area of your window (where the map gets drawn) is square.

Ah - thank you. It took me a while to manually resize the window to get it square. Is there an automatic way to do this? I don't believe that FT behaved this way in previous versions.

Cheers,

There was a change to zoom extents made for FT3 that makes it work better for projections where the whole world is wider than it is tall. This bug has been noted on the FT work list.
