Some news on this program??

hey Deepgear,
Relax it's christmas

+ full time work gets in the way of my enjoyment

+ my wife is about to pop with baby #2 so that takes up my time also

but what I do have is my PDA with D3 with England&Wales 5m data + Local to me at 25cm data. so i have normal D3 views and with the tap of a box, it's displayed in lovely 3D imagery

unfortunately, due to copyright, I can't release it, as the data is reverse engineered from FS2002 add on texture packs, and GM won't allow me to release my converter app, to use those files, thus allowing you to buy the packs, which would get them their cash, and me none, but they won't even let me do that

but I will start on adding Landsat7 to my PDA version, and release that, as it's the only freely available global imagery source.
what else would you like to see in the PC & PDA versions.

grrr, WTF is wrong with them!

They cant stop you from relasing an app that converts a file of type a to type b, they can stop you from releasing files of type a...........

If it comes to that.

I'm willing to pay for data, but if they wont sell it, out of stupidty etc etc fsck em

yeah i know exactly what ya mean, i feel the same about it.
I almost don't wanna sell their data for the simple fact of how difficult they're making it to get access to. considering it's to make them money ffs.
and Not quite yet, but I'm getting really tempted to release the conversion program to people who PM me for it. they'll still have to get the data from the FS add on packs, cos i don't wanna be giving copyrighted data away, it's not like i'm gonna be making any money off it either ffs. don't know what their problem is.
