SethInMI 145 #1 January 6, 2009 I wrote a FreeFall 3D Simulator for Google Earth, based on earlier work by John Kallend and Dave Blumenthal. An install program can be downloaded here: http://twinoak.altelco.net/~sdcooper/FreeFall3D/SetupFreeFallSimulator.msi If you want to skip the install, download the program and support files here: http://twinoak.altelco.net/~sdcooper/FreeFall3D/FreeFall3D.zip And then optionally some airplane models from Google Warehouse http://twinoak.altelco.net/~sdcooper/FreeFall3D/Models.zip Then unzip to a folder and run. Attached are some Google Earth screenshots and the readme file. If you try it and have a problem, let me know. There is very little error checking! For the techies, the program is .Net (C#) requiring the 3.5 Framework (windows only, although I would like to try it with Mono on Linux). I am GPLing the program, so if you want to screw around with it, let me know.It's flare not flair, brakes not breaks, bridle not bridal, "could NOT care less" not "could care less".

marks 0 #2 January 6, 2009 I got .net framework installed. and got your program installed, when I try to run the program I get this error.

I just loaded it though. took 45 minutes. let me know what you think and I will mess with it some tomorrow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SethInMI 145 #3 January 7, 2009 Marks: I don't know, it looks like the program does not have access rights to open the dropzones.xml file in the Program Files directory. Not sure why. You could try to browse to that folder and try to open the file with a text editor and see if that works. All (incl marks): You must install Google Earth to see the tracks. Google Earth can be found at http://earth.google.comIt's flare not flair, brakes not breaks, bridle not bridal, "could NOT care less" not "could care less".

SethInMI 145 #4 January 7, 2009 I will also attach the kmz file that created the screen shots, so if you want to look at the output without running the program, download the kmz file and open in Google Earth. Ok, not quite the same, I could not include the airplane as it would push the file over the 300KB attachment limit, so this kmz only has a red line for the plane track.It's flare not flair, brakes not breaks, bridle not bridal, "could NOT care less" not "could care less".
