1.3 first impressions and bugs
From World Wind Wiki
Some first impressions and bugs I've collated from the forums, with links to relevant posts.

First Impressions
- Top menu isn't liked much. Ideas: Perhaps make icons larger and zoom less on mouseover? Perhaps put a grey translucent curved rectangular box around the descriptions - sometimes over bright imagery it's hard to read the text.
Bugs
- World Wind pauses for long intervals between downloading tiles at times. One has to zoom in and out etc to get it to trigger the downloading again. Perhaps a rendering loop is slowing things down?
- Auth. proxy support not yet done. Also see this thread: Forums
Not Yet Bugs
- "File or assembly name Microsoft.DirectX.DirectX3DX, or one of its dependencies, was not found" - DX_HELL returns! Llynix is certain he'll have this fixed shortly. (unconfirmed, one report from a guy who judging by the thread may very well be running an old alpha build)
- Some installer dialogues show Italian when Dutch is selected. (I think it was in the correct language, just all messed up due to encoding issues. Jessi was in a rush and didn't a) wait 5 minutes or b) use the old globalmessages like I asked :(
Conclusion
Overall a positive reaction I think. Weldone everyone.
