Hi Mason, Thanks for your inquiry. Yes, it is always helpful to submit issues as separate tickets. But the problem we are facing currently is the developer who is in charge of adaptive resolution has had a family emergency, and I am not sure when we are expecting his return to the office. From what you describe, we have a bug. If you turn off adaptive resolution via edit preferences, and you are still seeing data sampling then that's a bug. At any rate, we still may be able to make some progress, but I need a data sample. Can you either point me to the data or upload your data file here? http://motherlode.ucar.edu/repository/alias/idvupload Let us know when it is uploaded.
