Fledermaus 8.5.0 Important Notes

On this page:

The Fledermaus 8 Point Cloud

The Point Cloud Streaming object at the moment can be created by loading an existing EPT (entwine point tiles) data source(file) from a network or local files. To build your own LAS/LAZ based EPT files you can follow the instructions provided here in the Entwine Quick Start.

The Fledermaus 8 Surface format 

There are many improvements and changes as to how the Fledermaus surfaces work. Please read the following Technical Document to get familiar with the changes to the Fledermaus surface formats.

Licensing

Existing Fledermaus users with a license that is under maintenance will be able to install and run Fledermaus 8.5.0 alongside Fledermaus 7.8.X or newer, using the same license. 
No changes to the license configuration have been made with this release. This allows trying out the new features of FM 8.5.0, while continuing to use Fledermaus 7.8.X on the same machine.

Installers

The Fledermaus installer will install by default into subdirectories with the 8.5.0 version name under the typical install path, which is usually C:\Program Files\QPS\Fledermaus. 
This allows multiple installations quite easily and follows the trend that Qinsy has been using for some time. 
Users with Fledermaus 7.X already installed will find that Fledermaus 8 will install into the Fledermaus 7 directory, but in the 8.5.0 subdirectory of the Fledermaus 7 installation folder.

Support for Fledermaus v7.X

Fledermaus 7 will be maintained alongside Fledermaus 8, as functionality is moved over to the new applications. Support for Fledermaus 7 will continue while the user base continues to transition to work with the new and improved Fledermaus 8.
