Re: [virtualmoon] VMA 4.0 Screen Display

Hi Tom,

Running VMA 4.0b on XP, same problem.  I hadn't noticed it because it's not obvious.  However, I zoomed way in and found a good place to show it is near ALIACENSIS.  I'm attaching a screen shot, but don't know if it will display.  I don't know how to display the terninator as a line, which you may have done.

Upgraded my VMA from v3 to v4 a while back and have since noticed that
my terminator display, rather than being a smooth curve from the N
pole to the S pole, now has "jags". They are about 1° in longitude
(wide) and, in the mid-latitudes, they occur at about each 30° to 35°
high. I don't recall this in v3.

Am I missing something in Setup? I'm running Windows Vista on a
Toshiba Satellite (Laptop).

I have a couple of jpeg screen shots but don't know a way to attach them.

Thanks!

Tom

Tom, Oh, yes! I had VMA set to full because I don't have a telescope anymore and use VMA as a map. As soon as I set it to Last Quarter and killed the...

Per suggestion, in "setup" have set "smoothness" to maximum and that helps significantly. Doesn't eliminate the problem completely, though. Setting...
