Fun and impressive simulations, such as volcano and asteroid scenarios
From 2 comments
This is magic. I just did volcano and it simulated lava flow, emergency responders, blast zones. Pretty cool stuff.
conception on HNI asked for a large asteroid impacting the Pacific ocean. Interestingly the resultant tidal wave apparently heads directly to Honolulu, then to Terminal Island, then reverses…

Cool idea with clouds and vision
From 2 comments
If this was just a post about generated clouds I would have upvoted anyway. They were cool. Love the vision!
dr_dshiv on HNI don't totally understand this, but it has the potential to be very, very cool. (The satellite imagery doesn't work in Firefox. Just clouds.)

Google 3D tiles quota exhausted so map frequently fails to load
From 3 comments
Cool idea, can only use 2D at the moment. Looks like the 3D tile quota is exhausted: "message": "Quota exceeded for quota metric '3D Tiles root requests' and limit '3D Tiles root…

rafram on HNThe map imagery doesn't seem to work in Edge either.
spuz on HNDoesn't work in Chrome (no map), doesn't work in Firefox. This sounds really interesting and I would love a video of it working its magic.

Glitchy and hard to understand what to do
From 3 comments
I like the idea, but it's really glitchy and borderline epilepsy-inducing
tetris11 on HNI don't understand what it's supposed to do. I see clouds and a prompt entry. I type something in and it just gives me a text response about New York urban tourism...?
solardev on HNit seems to work, but i dont know what i should be doing with it or what i am looking at

We used to do 3D virtual world work, and though I like where you're going with this, I think loading hi-res tiles, for your use-case, is not the right approach. The direction we…
