Sample-Projects/OpenGL/EarthExplorer/ displays nothing on the screen

[shujaatak]

I have extracted the binaries.zip in the same folder and then in the command prompt I cd to the binaries folder and run the following command:
EarthExplorer.exe -mdir ..\hgt_files
But I get nothing on the screen, it's just blank black.


I pressed F, V and 0-9 keys but still got nothing on the screen. Can you please tell me the possible reasons which could be causing such results?

I am using Windows 10.

Hi, hard to say what's the problem. It should display information about rendering after loading hgt files. I managed to run it on clean windows 10, globe is rendered, but terrain don't appear. OpenGL in general is very problematic, I guess it's related with that.

This project is quite old. Try to compile it, probably compiler will tell you more about issues. Maybe try to update third-party libraries too (like glew).

I will try to compile it and see if it solves the problem.
