Erm yeah you can also run it in DirectX :D
Grrr... no Mac support yet.
I went in for a physical a month ago, and the doctor was playing around with this program in the exam room... he was showing me his new house, the nearby golf course, etc. It was rather entertaining. :p
WTF was the doctor doing with that in the patient's room?
great now when im spying on your house, with my
personal satelite, ill know which window to look in.
Beats dealing with sick people all day long, eh?Quote:

Cant see my house for some reason... :(
When I played around with it (gave it an address), it was close, but not dead on. You may have to search around a little.
It seems that some areas go to a higher resolution than others.
hows this for resolution
Is there an option like "Draw Everything Nicely" that I forgot to check?
EDIT:
Woo for post 300. Wish it was a more meaningful post. Ah well, I wish a lot of things I did were more meaningful. One more can't hurt.
It seems that if the areas are more rural (less people = less important) the photos are less detailed. Notice how in the major cities you can see people on the sidewalk, and cars in the street.Quote:
