Hello Folks,
I went through the tutorial on generating real world terrain with Microdem, Infranview and Hog. The first two maps I made turned out fine with the exception of the rail and road detail not showing up on the map. The third map I made, Seabeck, ran into problems. As you can see by the screen shot, everything is black. You can see the cursor in the middle of the screen and nothing else. I redownloaded the images from the US Gov. sight (Geocomm), converted to tga format, went through the tutorial again with the same result. I've noticed the hog program only runs through the compiling process once, when it used to compile twice. I assume it compiles the image and tiger file seperately when it is working right.
An interesting note though, when I reload the images from the first two maps, it works right. This would normaly tell me there is a problem with the images (dem and tiger). I redownloaded them again and compared them to the images that were working correctly. They were the same parameters as the first images that were working correctly. I even went so far as to redownload the Microdem, hog and infranview progams again and start from scratch to no avail.
The first pic is of Bremertonwest and the map was successful (with the exception of the track detail showing up on the board. The second pic is of Seabeck (where my troubles began). I am sure one of you pro's out there could tell right off the bat what is wrong. Any help would greatly be apreciated.
Best Regards,

For some odd reason can't get second pic to show up. Damn computers! I hope my description will suffice.
