Topofusion on the Mac
« on: May 31, 2006, 09:41:05 PM »
Anybody try topofusion on a Mac using Virtual PC? Seems to have problems accessing the internet. I just get blank tiles with dots on them. Other programs don't seem to have any problems.

We've heard from several users that have successfully used TF on Virtual PC.  So I'm not sure what could be wrong in your case.

Blank tiles with white noise means you're in an area with no maps.  Could that be it?

If TF fails to make connection to Terraserver (or OnEarth) it will report a message and switch internet downloading off.  Is it doing that?

I think the problem has to do with the networking setting within Virtual PC. Apparently, it doesn't work well in a WiFi setup (can't use the switched mode). I'll have to use a direction connection and change the network setting from shared to switched and see if that works.
