Look at the leftmost menu on VistaPro 2.0. There is a Menu Item
called Landscape Size. Small landscapes are 258 x 258 data points, and are
the size you are used to playing with in earlier versions of VistaPro and
Vista. Large is 514×514 data points, and can be a single landscape or made
up of 4 Small landscapes. Huge is 1026×1026 data points and can be a single
landscape or made up of 16 Small landscapes. Our "X" series scapes are made
up so that the small landscapes will "lock" together to form a Large or
Huge landscape with VistaPro 2.0. A Small landscape will typically load in
a machine with 3 megs of memory, while a Large landscape needs 4.5 megs and
a Huge landscape around 8.5 megs of FAST memory. This is described in more
detail on pages 3-2 and 3-3 of the VistaPro 2.0 manual.
Unfortunately, there was not room on the disks to save the
Sessions from MakePath, however, these were very simple scripts made
with MakePath, and should be able to be duplicated in just a few
seconds. It was just "Load a landscape", "Set the flight mode",
"Point and click to make a path", "Select Loop", "MakePath", "Save
Script". MakePath will load Small, Large and Huge landscapes.
