Hi, I started this thread about osgEarth because the osgEarth installation information on the wiki and forum is outdated and it is unclear for beginners.
Objective: I want this feature in latest FG (git) on Windows 7 64b because this can help me locate shared objects to be placed later with more precision and faster as the normal method with coordinates.
What have I done: I tried to install this feature based on the first post created by poweroftwo but without success because it is intended for a different version of FG. Later, Hooray told me that I need to compile the simulator and the osgEarth-plugin feature codes manually to have the feature available. Then, I followed the instructions at:
http://wiki.flightgear.org/Building_using_CMake_-_Windows
http://wiki.flightgear.org/Building_FlightGear_with_osgEarth_Integration
but i have some problems.
1 - I've downloaded and installed: Git for Windows, CMake GUI, Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express (Visual C# 2010 Express package) and Visual Studio 2010 SP1.
2 - I've downloaded the three repositories (with Git for Windows): simgear, flightgear and fgdata and the osgEarth repository too.
3 - I'm stuck in the process of Configuring Simgear (point 4 on Building section). When i select Visual Studio 2010 Win64 and i press OK shows a Error window with the text: "Error in configuration process, project files may be invalid" therefore the configuration step is incomplete and appeared errors.
What shall I do?
Thankyou, I apologize because I do not write English correctly so if there are any questions please let me know.
EDIT (18/04/2015): Solution (my own): Definitely I installed the prepared version of poweroftwo (3.1.0), read this post.
