Title: Virtual Radar Map Error?
Post by: Dreamliner787 on March 14, 2025, 08:42:23 AM
hi,

when I open up Virtual Radar the map does not display properly. Can anyone tell me what causes this , is it a problem with the browser or windows 11 ? I've tried it with a different browser same result.

thanks

not really , I've tried zooming in and out . it either stays the same or the image is blurred.
I've noticed this on on radar exchange as well . it sems to happen when I'm looking at my own feed.

32Gb Ram 2x16

Could I ask you a question not related to this on, Why is my Basestation.ini file in the virtual store ?, shouldn't it be in the Kinetic/Basestation folder ? why does it do that ?

thank you

That sound OK.  Does Google Maps open OK for you?

Did you install BaseStation to the default location in Program Files or in a directory of choice?

What's the folder path for your BaseStation.exe?

yes , I can open google maps in my browser ,no problems.

If I change the settings in VR Tools/Options to google maps I get an old version of google maps displayed correctly with a watermark,
with a msg This page can't load Google Maps correctly.



C:\Program Files (x86)\Kinetic\BaseStation

But the whole map displays when you zoomn in and out, ignoring th watermarks?

How about OpenStreetMap, does that work OK?:

Why do you also have a Kinetic\Basestion folder?

Ref Google maps,
had to nip out there for a bit  ;D
It displays ok, if I zoom in and out theres a little bit of lag displaying map but then displays ok.

Ref https://www.openstreetmap.org/

the map loads the same as above.


Why do you also have a Kinetic\Basestion folder?

not sure what you mean ?

You asked about that folder.  Why?

Your BaseStation appears to be installed in ProgramFiles so you shouldn't have a Kinetic folder.

If you Google Windows VirtualStore it will explain why some files are there.

"Your BaseStation appears to be installed in ProgramFiles so you shouldn't have a Kinetic folder".

I've answered as best I can.

Google VirtualStore to understand how it works.

I assume you don't have a folder named Kinetic/Basestation. In which case why ask the question?
