I am using the Starpilot PC on a VISTA machine. I'm currently solving problems in the Leonard Gray book. When I use the solve by calulation option everything seems OK. However if I solve by plotting sometimes a few of the lines don't display. In one case I should have had 6 lines:
Moon-1
Moon-2
Moon-3
Sun-1
Sun-2
Sun-3
ALL the sun lines displayed but NONE of the moon lines were visible. Yet, if I moved the cursor around the info popups for the moon lines would appear.
Later I discovered if I zoom out enough one or maybe all the moon lines would show up. If you happen to click where they should be then they show up, but by clicking you have just moved your 'fix'.
Not sure how to resolve this problem.
Thanks in advance.

Is there an email address I can send the *.sp file to? I saved it. You should be able to simply open it using your Starpilot?

I sent the file to both addresses so you should have it.
Its 3 sunlines and 3 Venus lines. When I open the file I can see 3 sun lines and no Venus lines. If I hover around some with my cursor I can get the info windows for the Venus to come up.
Also if I zoom out to like -34 then the 3 Venus lines will show up very close together.

I should also add this display problem is not unique to the file I sent. There are many such examples where, depending on the zoom the lines simply disappear.
I realize if you zoom in enough a line could end up 'off the page' but I don't think thats whats happening here.

I cannot find the error, but do detect erratic plot behavior. we must wait for what Luis has to say.

This has now been fixed and there is a new StarPilot PC version available as a free download to those who own an earlier version.
