March 9, 2022 | After the last Windows Update TopoFlight does not start any more

The last Windows update includes also one for Microsoft Office driver which is used by TopoFlight to generate Excel reports. In versions 14+ of our Mission Planner there is a totally new export to Excel. However exporting to Excel the "old way" is still possible. This "old way" uses Office 2016 library which is the one updated by Microsoft yesterday. As a result TopoFlight Mission Planner does not start any more. As a temporary solution you need to uninstall the last Microsoft Office 2016 driver update to run TopoFlight again.

Uninstall this Office 216 driver update

Windows 10

  • Navigate to Start, type Show installed updates in the Windows search box, and then press ENTER.
  • Find and select KB5002160 from the list of updates, and then select Uninstall.

Windows 8 and Windows 8.1

  • Swipe inward from the right edge of the screen, and then select Search. If you are using a mouse, point to the bottom-right corner of the screen instead, and then select Search.
  • Type Windows Update, select Windows Update, and then select Installed Updates.
  • Search in the list of updates, select KB5002160, and then select Uninstall.

We are happy that we could be at Intergeo again. Thank you for all talks we had and the exchange of ideas and thoughts. We appreciate it. Many thanks to SOMAG AG JENA and Diamond Aircraft for our great booth we shared.

July 30, 2021 | SRTM data in TopoFlight Mission Planner

SRTM data provided by USGS has changed. Therefore in version 12 (and earlier verions) of our Mission Planner DTM data could not be acessed any more. In the current version we solved this by creating a new SRTM data integration. We even simplified the process. Additionally a map with a shaded relief map is now added to the project.

Together with somag ag Jena and Diamond Aircraft we shared our booth at INTERGEO in Berlin. As always we enjoyed the meetings and discussions with our existing customers who visited our booth and also the new contacts we got. These discussions belong to the most important sources to bring us ahead.

Actual themes have been our efforts towards serving systems from Riegl and PhaseOne and the outstanding mounts from somag. We have presented the new fully integrated 190MP system and the light weight 100MP system of PhaseOne.
