  • I notice nobody has responded to your question yet. That may be because it covers such a huge spectrum. In RPGs, I use AS3 to set up a (small) galaxy where my players can voyage around - they can see the map I've created and can say "we want to go t…

  • Am I likely to get the same error message ("License File Missing or Incorrect") if I try to install this? I'm still trying to resolve the issue for version 3.01c.

  • Any progress with my link - I'm about to re-visit the subject?

  • Good to know you're still working on new stuff. AS is an excellent piece of mapping software, providing amazing facilities for all kinds of SciFi projects. Is AS4 likely to include the latest Gaia data regarding stellar distances?

  • Nice to know, Mark. I'm sure I can find something to give you work
    in Tracing Maps Comment by Arundel July 2019
  • Hi Mark: Nice to hear from you. I've been away from map making for a few years and, at my age, the memory isn't what it was. By trial & error, I actually picked up on the method you outline and it seems to work. I've downloaded the Vintyri tuto…
