Sell this Engine to Google-Earth

Hello,
You can Sell this Engine to Google!

I think your Outerra-Engine is much better like the Google-Earth Engine!

Greetings,

Yeah Something like that would be pretty cool, as long as they licensed the engine and don't actually sell the rights or anything.  :P  I don't think it's a very good idea for any mega corporation to own the rights to Outerra.

I second this idea.  Imagine the sheer detail. :D

GE seems like a good use for it but I don't think it is designed to stream its content quite so fast. Zooming around from country to country. Besides GE uses images of the ground where outerra generates the ground from a climatic guesstimate.

I am just waiting for the game. In whatever form it takes.

GE does and is designed for something quite different, it's a virtual globe sw optimized for streaming maps.
There's no simple way to use the content that is being served by GE with Outerra. Fractal-refining photos doesn't make much sense.
