Judging by the the general quality of Google earth at the moment, probably quite a long time...

When 10TB Harddrives and 100mbit connections
are standard... and google earth dramatically increases
the resolution of the imgages in most regions of the world.

Ah yes.. and as far as I remember google and Microsoft are not really good friends at the moment !!

The current amount of data used by google earth is about 4
Terrabytes. But because you´ll need a much better resolution to make it suitable for flying.. I would guess 10 Terrabytes would probabely be the minimum you´d need !

A little off topic but:

1Gbps connection!! why! would you even notice a difference between that and 100Mbps that a lot of people have now? I mean it's like the frame rate thing- after about 20 FPS it all looks the same to the human eye.

you probably wouldn't....

1GBPS or even 100MBPS is faster already than your hard drive can write....

so it makes no difference at all, as the transfer speed is now being limited by the HD

it does annoy me a bit, as i have a very slow 300kbps connection and i pay as much as you guys probably pay for your 3Mbps line..... Sad

so 1GBPS seems like a cruel joke to me

about that thing that synchs FS with google earth.... that seems interensting, but surely there will be no panels, models, or even a basic active clickable DVC, with XML gauges Grin

it would be interesting to fly in goggle earth with a joystick though
