One of the early pioneers of CFS 2 land class and textures has a birthday today!

:birthday2:birthday2:birthday2:birthday::birthday::birthday::birthday2:birthday2:birthday2

Happy Birthday Richard!


I'm still using your landmark "Tropical Landclass" in my PTO and CBI installations and seasonal textures in all of my ETO & USA installations. Quite a legacy some 7 or so years after their initial upload.
 
WoW Jan 1st eh?


More like Scenery God. LOL!

Happy Birthday Rhumba! :wavey:
 
Many thanks.

( ...but it's not really my birthday )

I'm playing around with Luis Sa's gmap javascript:

http://www.ptsim.com/sbuilder/gmaps.htm

Google let's you use the Google Maps API from a file, as well as from a website.

Luis' code uses ASP, which is a no-no using a non-asp website server, or an XP home edition desktop. So first I'm converting his code to use HTML amd javascript only, and have it run on FireFox or IE6 ( Sorry... I don't have IE7 ). Then I'll eventually try to make a new JS program to take a coordinate pair, and make a window that fits an LOD8 sized image... for use with Ground2K, or SBuilder.

Then you'd be able to click on a internet HTML file, and have it run on the desktop, downloading the map from Google, without needing to visit anyone's website.

This will keep me off the streets for a few days.

Luis' web program is much improved, now allowing also for MSLive maps and Yahoo maps! I recommend using Firefox with the fireshot screensaver plugin... to capture the full image that is larger than the desktop.
