World Wind 1.3 beta User Reviews

"Very pretty but difficult to use for a non-US person"
Version: World Wind 1.3.5
Pros
Very pretty. A promising interface with nice-looking buttons.
Cons
The buttons didn't work. I never did find out how to zoom except by entering different altitudes on a very difficult-to-use window. This is definitely not for the faint of heart. I'll stick to Google Earth.

"Would not run - "Error in the application""
Version: World Wind 1.3.5
Pros
Free and made by NASA - usually a great combination.
Cons
Downloaded it, installed it, it required me to add the .NET framework (no problem, it provided a link) and then update Direct X (again, link provided) but when I ran it, it would just draw a box with a big X in it and say "Error in the application." So I uninstalled it, powered down the computer, reinstalled and tried again. Exactly the same result. So no joy at all - wish it would have run, or at least have identified what error it was that caused it NOT to run. Test system is a 1.4 Ghz Athlon system with 1 GB RAM and lots of fast disk space.
