hi guys, ok any easy solutions here would be greatly welcomed,, im around 2000ly from sadge,, and every time i try to plot a route forward,, the gal map just freezes, and eventually throws me back into a frozen ship,, 997 has worked fine within 30 secs to 2 mins for the last 10 plots,, but now i have to shut everything down,, just to have another seemingly futile attempt,, any idea's guys

jump range is 34.06

i tried calculating it from an equation on another thread,, got 969,, or maybe 979 lol

This thread by Esvandiary has a algorithm that worked great for him, for me it's a couple of LY out.

Rounding down your jump range to the nearest LY or 0.5LY and then using the biggest multiple of that that is below 1000 might work, it did for me and Rusticulous.

I've also found since 1.3 that distances between 990 and 995 instaplot.

Never exit the Galmap, that just makes everything worse now. Keep choosing a different star until one works. Your magic number will plot within 2 seconds, mine works in less than 1.

Use multiples of 33 or 33.5 if the 990-995 doesn't work (34 likely won't work)

mine doesnt give me the option to try again,, everything freezes and i have to shut it down,, if 969 fails here ill try between 990 and 995

Oh okay, I've found that it goes really really slow, but if you're patient you can still select another star (takes about 10 secs)

For your jump range I would expect between 963 and 966 to insta-plot (i.e. no delay at all). This is based upon the algorithm Raiko mentions above (I am Rusticolus). If it doesn't, use the keyboard (WASD) to navigate back about 20-30 LY and then select a star - this will plot instantly. This navigation will be slow and painful, but does work (I used to get exactly the same problems you are seeing - it is CPU related).

Good luck and enjoy Sag A* :)
