Cheers for posting those links, Redrobes. The engine speed is very impressive. I liked how quickly you were able to zoom in and out of that huge map and move the mapping objects around without ViewingDale even freezing for a few seconds. Cool stuff.

I think that I've read your message, as I'm also subscribed to NBOS' mailing list. There's a subscriber who, if I remember correctly, has previously used CC, then switched to Fractal Mapper and keeps telling how great it is. But I, for one, haven't seen a lot of FM maps. There are a couple of examples on the NBOS website. However, most of them consist of vector symbols and the images don't include any shadow effects and the like.

I don't believe that these forums should be (mis)used as a sales pitch by the developers of mapping software but a little more communication with the community and posting examples of created maps as well as tutorials would be beneficial both to registered members and developers.
