BTBHD is now in Beta!

[Travlar]

BTBHD is now in Beta. If you would like to give it a try, please feel free to do so. Please read the launch page first and make sure you have Google Earth installed and the .NET framework 2.0 installed.

This is a no thrills version and you have to put your KML file in a certain directory to have BTBHD read it.

I hope this works as well for you as it has for me. If you place your "nodes" too close while you make your path in Google Earth, you can get some very big jumps in elevation. I found that once the track was imported into BTB, I was able to delete some nodes to smooth out the transitions.

BTBHD 1.0.0.11 can be installed from the link below.

http://www.microvoxsoftware.com and go to the Download Section.

Thanks

thanks

You don't have to install if you already have Google Earth installed. You can follow the directions to use the /RegServer command and that should do it. Of course, if you uninstall and install Google Earth again, it may or may not register the COM. I would attempt the /RegServer command line first to save time.

Let me know.

Thanks,

it ok travlar, i had to reinstalled has i switch to vista, from xp so the registery was only shown the new programs installed, not the programs on the second hdd that was installed with xp.

can't use the command line prompt, has i need the admin rights of drive. C :lol so it always fails when i try.

Banger, if it is still not working for you, try this little trick. Go to your shortcut on your desktop for GoogleEarth and right-click. Then go to properties. Then under Target: move to the end and type /RegServer so it looks like this "C:\Program Files\Google\Google Earth\googleearth.exe" /RegServer and then click OK.

Start Google Earth by clicking on the icon and it should register for you. Then quit Google Earth and remove the /RegServer from the Target and you should be good to go.

Let me know.

Thanks

regserver worked okay, now the next bit.

regserver worked okay, now the next bit.

Thanks for sticking in there Banger. I will check on this and get back to you.

Banger, I assume that you were able to pick your folder and file name, correct?

It looks as if the error occurred at the point when I create and reference the COM object for Google Earth.

I will look at the Google Earth documents to see if I can find out more about the /RegServer command. I am wondering if you have to do a restart after you issue the command. Let me dig a little deeper and get back to you.

Thanks,

Banger,

Going through the forums on Google, I see that some other people running 64 bit versions of Windows are having the same issue.

I made a small change to the way I call the FolderBrowserDialog. Let's see if this fixes it for you. I will get it online in the next 15 minutes.

UPDATE:

Well I tested it and it works fine on a 32 bit system. It gives me problems on a 64 bit version. I really don't know what the problem is as some people that run 64 bit systems said it worked for them. I will look and see if I can find a solution. Sorry Banger.

Thanks,

 

[Jeff Handley]

Worked great for me!!!!!
Thanx a load for this app Travlar

 

[Erwin Greven]

I get this error message, i will look at it this evening.

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

What's BTBHD for?? I haven't heard about this and I don't see any explanation or comment.

 

[zaxxon]

I think it is another way of giving elevation to a kml file. An alternative to 3DRoute Builder or BTBLofty.

 

[Michael Bryant]

BTBHD 1.0.0.11 can be installed from the link below.

http://www.microvoxsoftware.com and go to the Download Section.

Thanks

I had this program but lost it in a disk crash. Link doesn't work anymore. Anyone have a copy they can post it here? This program works great.

 

[R Soul]

I don't think a copy would do any good; I think the main program is on a server and we just have a small part of it.

 

[Tistouuu35]

Hi! :smile:

I have a problem...
The website does not work.
How can I do to download the software?

Thank's!

 

[catrasca]

Is to generate terrain the software?
I need a simple method to do that. Y know the programs but not the method. The Zaxxon system is confuse for me

 

[Lee Knight]

Had this program myself,worked great & suddenly stopped working.
Deleted program,went for fresh install & I cant find it.
Said to myself,"Self,dont sweet,sweaty.I'll follow the links"
Problem,no link I can find works now. What the.....?
Would realy,REALY like to find a copy of it again.
"Dont throw out yer ol'bits 'til you know that, not only do yer new bits work,you CAN get 'em"
Just goes to show!
Best of luck,BLeeK

 

[R Soul]

I recommend BTB Lofty - see the attachment in this post (VE Track Starter no longer works, but you can make the kml file via Google Earth).

 

[banger]

or try 3d route builder, works with kml and can smooth the bumps if any

[Lee Knight]

Gday R Soul,
Found BTB Lofty & downloaded successfully.
Now heres the but...
When I load the .KML file into Lofty it keeps coming up with "Unable to find a valid path in the KML file".
Any Ideas as to what Im doing wrong?
Is there anything special I should be doing?
Please help,Im starting to get fed up with this caper.
BLeeK
PS.How do I get Goggle Earth to save the file where I want rather then in its own folder?
