No cigar.

I've got Google Earth 4.2 and the .NET 3.0 Framework with the very
latest updates. When you say the current .NET exactly what version and
update are you running against? On what OS platform? I'm on XP SP2 at
the very latest public release updates.

Anybody else got this to run?

BTW a quick check with the debugger showed this apparently uses .NET
2.0, so you don't need to waste time downloading the NET 3.0
bloatware. I've emailedTobithe debug information.

Tobias found the problem with his code and .NET strangeness on my
laptop, seems like it may have affect some other laptops as well.
Anyhow it is all working great on my ThinkPad now.

Thanks Tobias for this great utility!

Darryl,

So does that mean there's an updated application to download from
Tobias' site? I've been using it with a thinkpad, too, still think
it's an absolutely great program but have noticed some strangeness,
too.

Thanks,
Larry

There was an update recently, it at least fixed a .NET startup
problems on some laptops where the application would crash as I
described earlier. I am guessing that is very unlikely to be related
to any other problems - except Tobias told me that the left hand
control panel may size wrong on laptop displays but can just be
changed manually. I have no idea what other things if any changed. Why
don't you try the latest build anyhow and then email him a description
of the strangeness you are seeing. He is very responsive.

Darryl

The new version works very well for me and it is a
really excellent tool.

One tip for users - if you haven't already discovered
it - if the terrain ahead seems slow to load then dip
the view downwards momentarily and back up and it loads
immediately.

Thinking of it as a flight terrain viewer rather than
a flight simulator three things would enhance it for
me:

A side map showing current location.

The ability scan scan left/right and up/down while
paused.

An option to automatically jump the display to miss
out thermals except for, say, the first and last turns.

Thanks Tobi

I got it working today. Really amazing !!

However I am seeing something very annoying. The terrain
view keeps
pulsating on me ('closer-further' for lack of better
description).
Does anyone see that as well? Can it be fixed?

Cheers,

This is normal. You are probably flying at Minden in
rotor.

Thanks Tobi, fabulous!

Opened IGC GE and then opened the file with SeeYou file in Route mode
and "futzed" with the replay speeds to get everything synced and then
let them run. Had to continuosly sync using the GE time control but
that was easy. The 2 applications kept time drifting, Google seems to
have some small realtime issues.

Worked like a charm though and is a great tool for learning the
terrain in a area. I am headed for Sondrio in March and this helps me
to learn the extended local terrain. I downloaded IGC files from the
OLC for the Sondrio area. With SeeYou, GE and a chart I am statring to
familarize myself with the area, including the "hot" thermal spots!

Thanks again Tobi!
