Hi folks!

If you want to try out the newest version of CC3+, update 26 is now available from your registration page (click the CC3+ download button to access it). It does have some internal changes, displays certain dialogs and windows more nicely and contains a few new toys to play around with (version notes below). As a beta, there may well still be a few glitches and issues, so only install it if your comfortable with that.

If you experience any problems or have questions, post in the thread below or email me at ralf@profantasy.com.

There was another little error compounding this. The RIVERS sheet in the template had a space at the end of the name, meaning it wasn't recognized by the tool properly. I've fixed this and rebuild the installer.

I can't reproduce the problem with the symbols.

We are working on options for that right now! It will very likely be made available in some form or other.

The satellite dish, by the far the most complex piece so far.
