I can't seem to find how to use the terrain view in Google Earth. What

Any ideas or suggestions? I've read the help file and gone online for
help but to no avail.

You can go to *http://ywtw.de/igcsimen.htmland get IGC Flight Replay.
When I
first got it it would automatically activate Google Earth. *Now I get
a message
stating:
'The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is
unavailable.'
'Check OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder
containing
the installation package 'Google Earth.msi' in box below.'

I work around this by having GE already open before opening
IGC Flight Replay. *After GE appears on this application all you have
to do is
click on 'File' in the upper left hand corner, then click on "open IGC
File' and
browse for the file you want to view.

*Anyone have a solution to this problem?

Mario,
Brad is asking about something different. There are three ways to see
'terrain' in Google Maps/earth that I know of:
1. The regular GE tiltable images, with a lot of detail/clutter.
2. Import a USGS or similar topo into GE.
3. The grey very low feature terrain that is available in OLC and in
google maps.

Brad is trying for the grey very low feature terrain, but he wants it
in GE, which as far as I know is not available. Too bad, cause it is a
really nice level of detail to have for some things.
