I am using the GE Pro Free trial version, which I thought would make the images have better res, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot!Prestonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01810656044949603245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-47896653854399647.post-89613826403690344692010-11-14T18:25:05.540+00:002010-11-14T18:25:05.540+00:00I used a similar technique for producing smooth fl...I used a similar technique for producing smooth flight without coding. I drew a "flight" path and set the altitude to 16m and "relative to ground". Then I set the paths opacity to 0 so it was invisible. Just play the path and record as it goes.

What's nice about this is that when you press play to restart the tour, GEarth flies you back to where you left off and restarts the tour from there.<br /><br />if you search for tour and pause on the blog I think you will find a post I did about just this issue and how potentially useful it could be.Rich Treveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00074610839485450953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-47896653854399647.post-37773318690426424842009-11-10T20:50:19.562+00:002009-11-10T20:50:19.562+00:00Just curious.

Is there a way to create a tour during which the user can control the camera view (rather than the camera being set to a fixed position or on rails)?Taphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15899113518037965880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-47896653854399647.post-39696895601274488352009-11-09T18:53:52.765+00:002009-11-09T18:53:52.765+00:00Thanks for your help Rich!

Also, I have a large sketchup file of a downtown area (about 10 square city blocks) and for some reason Google Earth is very choppy when playing my tour. It's even choppy when I take out all the sketchup models, so it seems to be a Google Earth issue? The framerate drops to about 4 fps during some parts of the tour. It's weird too cause I tried this on 2 different systems, a Macbook Pro Core 2 Duo w/4 GB RAM and 256 MB video and a Dell Core 2 Duo with 4 GB ram with 512 MB video.<br /><br />I already have Google Earth Pro so I'm just going to use the movie maker in that which I didn't know was there until I read your post! It takes longer, but the end result is super smooth because it stops and takes a snapshot for each frame and you can set it to stay at 30 fps.Vincent Chiarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09421795657315704707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-47896653854399647.post-46835633125640556942009-11-08T10:55:57.113+00:002009-11-08T10:55:57.113+00:00search my blog for Fraps and you'll find a tut...search my blog for Fraps and you'll find a tutorial (maybe a little out of date now)Rich Treveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00074610839485450953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-47896653854399647.post-27625791597970652792009-11-08T01:54:40.457+00:002009-11-08T01:54:40.457+00:00Thanks for the great tutorial!
