Anybody testet the new PC featurer (as of Ver 3.12.5)?
"You can now save a route in KML format, allowing for viewing the magenta line and 3D virtual fly-throughs in Google Earth (PC)"

Export to KML worked fine, my route appeared in the "my locations" section of GE , the programm zoomed into the area of my flight and klicking on "Route Fly-Through" brought me to my planned airport of departure.
 

But thats it:
- Nothing happend when klicking on PLAY
- No Magenta Line in the overview

Any idea?

Cheers
Georg

We do not only have to differ between the fly-through of a planned route and the fly-through of a track log.

It's also a difference between the Application „Google Earth Pro“ and the web-based „earth.google.com“.

Fly-through in the Application (at least on a Mac) does not work at all but I could manage to make the planned Fly-Through (magenta line) work on earth.google.com by importing the KML.
earth.google.com is still kind of beta and they are asking for feedback. I assume that Google will sooner or later give up the App in favour of the web service.

Problem: the tracked log KML has a different format than the planned one and I'd like to ask, if there's a way to maybe convert it, so the track can be used as a fly-through (which it actually is not)?
