It falls over with an immediate null reference exception on Windows XP

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 emailed Tobi the debug information.

I did a Google search
for
V2.0.50727 and went to the
Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0 Redistributable Package (x86)
page.

I downloaded the 2.0 version and installed it and the program then ran
even though my system was showing up to date on system checks.


Usually the .NET packages are shown as optional packages, so the automated
checking won't load them.

Mine works fine on a Lenovo (post ThinkPad type of laptop). Don't
understand the comments about jerkiness in the thermals, it's about
as smooth as you can reasonably expect. I use 4 second gps updates,
longer times probably look a lot worse.

The only funny item I've seen is the two demo files that came with the
software won't run, they error out immediately. Anybody else see that?

Other than that, great job, it's a lot of fun.

there is a new Build on the download page. It should solve any trouble
with unreadable igc-files (It's hard for me to test, since local
culture settings caused the problems, thanks to Mark for assistance)

Tobi,

The new build fixed the unreadable file problem I was seeing. Worked
fine yesterday. But this morning, the perspective view from GE is
many thousands of feet too high. Both the GE eye altitude, and the
height in meters in the lower left are correct, but the view is wrong.
Using XP, SP2, .NET 1.1, 2.0, and 3.0 loaded. Rebooting didn't fix.
Weird.

Dave

Dave,
most probably terrain is switched of (Google Layers Tab) or altitude
exaggeration under tools-options-3D is not set to 1.

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,
Henryk Birecki

Henryk,

That has happened on one file so far. It was a flight where my 302A
was having intermittent glitches due to a faulty antenna connection.
Probably not your problem though, but I wonder if the recording
interval of the GPS could cause a problem?

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

what you described appears in GE 4.0, thats the reasing why 4.2 is a
requisite. Even in 4.2 , if you are very close to the terrain, lets
say less than 40 fts, the Google Earth Camera sometimes makes
avoidance movements which cannot be eliminated. However as a totally
convinced user of GPS_LOG all my logs work fine.

Thanks Tobi,

That fixed it. I missed the required GE version. Now it is really
great.

Thanks for all your efforts.
