James, Setting the above environment variable (I'm using Windows XP) changed the warning output to: Warning: detected OpenGL error 'invalid operation' after applying attribute View port 16776AD0 I loaded various planes that used the radar module and all generated the above warning, but the "View port" value was different for each plane and usually different for each run using the same plane. -Gary ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Write once.
