Hi,
I am going through the code in Source/Renderer/GL3x/Names folder, and noticed that the private methods used in those classes take a bool type input 'disposing' however this input is never used in this method. Is there a particular reason why it should take a bool type input?

I am also not quite sure why in the FinalizerThreadContextGL3x class we will have to create a NtiveWindow and GraphicsContext.

Thank you!

Hi! It is somewhat painful now to build Source project under windows 8+... It would be nice if you can release compiled version here for those who just want to have a look at the examples without the need to change it.

I can get every chapter to run, except for the last. It starts downloading terrain from NASA. The window will show up. But then, almost immediately, it crashes. I noticed some SIGPWR and SIGXCPU signals being raised right before it crashes. SIGPWR I have no idea about. SIGXCPU means it exceeded the allowed CPU time, but the CPU usage limit is infinite. (I read somewhere that Mono uses SIGXCPU internally, so it doesn't actually mean that.)

For some odd reason, it doesn't crash if I run it in debug mode. (It just runs really, REALLY slow.) Since it won't crash that way, I can't step through the code and find out where the issue is myself. The code was compiled with MonoDevelop 3.0.3.2, which is the standard version you get with Ubuntu. Mono is also the standard version.

I also tried running mono with --trace turned on, but it never produced an actual window or crashed after half an hour, so I gave up.

Here's some info I collected. Let me know if anything else is needed.

Terrain gets shrinked to sea level if LOD Update enabled at close distance, terrain is still visible in far distances but can't be reached (Fly cam). The terrain gets lower if you are getting closer.

Hello, pjcozzi and kring！
When I was learning 3D Engine Design for Virtual Globes (this is a good book), I found that the url resources used in this example no longer exist.
What should I change the url to make it run?
I want to see the effect.
Thank you very much for your answer!

Looking for a way to rotate globe with fixed camera/observer to simulate earth rotation. Any guidance much appreciated.
