Pano2VR5 produces a strip of 512x3027 (the six cube sides in one vertical strip). I have tile size set to 500px, so what is that strip doing there and why is it using the default tile size of 512..? I am using level tile size 500px, multi resolution levels 2000 and 1000 (load at startup), and download preview color, resolution 1:2. When I use the same settings in Pano2vr4 this strip is not generated.

Hi,
This would be the preview image.
In V4 you would see separate preview cube faces. As they were separate there was the possibility that the time it takes too download all the images some of the tiles would start to load. End result you may not download all preview images first.

In V5 this is a single strip so all cube faces get display together.
The strip is in the tiles folder and in cf_6. of course there should only be cf_0 to cf_5 with cf_6 being the preview.
Regards,
Hopki
