Thread: Needed: BETA Testers for Google Earth Plugin

Yes version 4 beta the latest from there site.

Guino - had work travel today wish I had seen this sooner spent 5 hours round trip over to Indy with a rock solid RR trip ;-)

Just grabbing this now and will report in --- I tested the early goops stuff but was messy - this looks pretty interesting especially with the cache features in Earth...

Thanks for this!

Guino --

I stepped thru all 4 pages of the thread, to the tee. I get the skin to load, no embedding occurs but I see that googleearth is loaded as a process with task manager.

1 - Copied beta RoadRunner.exe to my RR path
2 - Using BMV fresh skin - added new skin files and assigned a button
3 - Unzip'd files to RR path and ran the .exe there as you indicated
4 - Installed GE 4 made sure no links as you mentioned.
5 - Added the x, ... to the menu skin file.

Double checked this all quite a bit but sure I could have missed something?

Anything else I may be missing.... I am going to try another clean build. Looks fantastic - would love to see it.

4-Double check you've deleted RR.EXE and you're running RoadRunner.exe (with that FILENAME) -- the one posted on the BETA site.

Guino - update...

Correct me if I am wrong, and don't think this should be the case. But if I run GE 4 before RR, it appears to embed properly and is showing and operating within the skin. I don't think this is the desired approach here but just an update on that.....

Ok - ditto on speed comments below and well warned Guino, but I did get it working in a clean RR build - so it loads and all is well. I am using local and simply need to see if it would be usable in my cars - and also the features a bit more. Not sure exactly that I know enough about how I would go about using it but the directions piece I would like to figure out.

Thanks again for the work. There is no doubt this it tied in beautiful - very embedded from my view - fantastic job. I just need to understand the app and how to better use it (or how you would other than wow which is kewl by the way), how to cache better (is tool only option), and how the GE directions piece works.

I will mess with all of this and sure folks will chime in.

Thanks!!!

Autozoom based on speed i'd consider a must. Tilt control as a present would be a pretty nice little feature. As for goops... dunno a thing about it

Great work guino!!!
Thanks!!!
