Love the idea, but I can't get it to work. I downloaded the v1.1 and followed your installation instruction. For the file path, I created a txt file but it wouldn't open it, so I converted it to a csv file. Nothing happens when I press "Create Virtual Animated Turbine". I tried changing the coordinates from negative to positive (I am in Hawaii), but that didn't work either. I have both Google Earth and Google Earth Pro installed. Please advise.

You create new text file, type in excel locno Longitude Latitude with out heading paste the coordination in text file ( notepad), save the file and provide the saved path example: E:\mycoordinate.txt ( behalf of editing coordination text file). Run the software as administration. Or try to edit coordination file in administration mode.

Hi, I have the same problem. If I right click on the screen shortcut and select "Run as administrator" nothing happens. I can change the properties of the shortcut, ticking "Run as administrator" then double click and the program starts but even using the sample data file nothing happens when I click Create...

Good job. I could make it work in Google Earth (application) but not on the Chrome version, Using windows 10 but run as administrator and emulate windows 7 works fine ! Thanks !

- If you have a set of coordinate readily available you can paste in notepad or excel(convert to CSV format) and use as input.

Download both zip files(Part1.rar and part2.rar) and keep in single folder, just unrar only the Part1.rar once unrar process completed you will find .exe file to install. If you get any further errors please let me know, I will be happy to help you.
