When I zoom down to the lowest elevation the GE Plugin insists on tilting the camera which is what I don't want.  This can be turned off in the Google Earth client, but how is it turned off in the Google Earth Plugin?

Thanks.

Hi Kriston,

There is currently no API call to disable this tilt feature.

If you zoom with PgUp PgDn on the numeric keypad, the image doesn't
tilt, so perhaps this might lead to a solution.

i.s.

Can you give me a link to the appropriate tracker where this feature can be requested?  I want to make sure I use the correct one.

Thanks.

Typical of google and their total disregard for the customer.  Shitty interfaces, that's google for you.

So, as a Google customer, how much are you paying to use the Earth API?

I solved some well:

function notilt(event) {  
var lookAt = ge.getView().copyAsLookAt(ge.ALTITUDE_RELATIVE_TO_GROUND);
lookAt.setTilt(0);
ge.getView().setAbstractView(lookAt);
}
google.earth.addEventListener(ge.getGlobe(), 'mousemove', notilt);

 

Another thing I have not managed to solve it completely eliminate the relief. In the program if it can be done but the plugin does not know the method.
Does anyone know how to do?
