Customizing Internet Access in V2.2 and Later (updated)

Climb! Version 2.2 and later use AppleScript to control internet access. This enables us to adapt to changes in Safari, Google Earth, or the web sites that Climb! accesses, and it allows you to customize internet access functions. Climb! stores the internet scripts in your Application Support folder (~/Library/Application Support/Climb!/Scripts/). The following scripts have modifiable entries:

• netLinkSat.applescript: modify view distance, tilt, and azimuth in Google Earth
• netLinkWxWeb.applescript: modify content, format, and time window for NOAA weather info
• netLinkArpt.applescript: modify timing for varying connection speeds (Airport Edit Window)

Open the script in any text editor. The modifiable information in "netLinkSat.applescript" looks like this:

• (*User modifiable entries*)
• set distMtrs to 6000 -- View altitude in meters as real; 0 to approximately 60,000,000
• set tiltDegs to 45 -- View tilt angle in degrees with 0 being vertical as real; 0 to 90
• set aziDegs to 0 -- View azimuth in degrees with 0 being North as real; 0 to 360
• (*End user modifiable entries*)

Want to view the airport from directly overhead? Change 45 to 0 and save the script. If you want to revert to the original parameters, drag the script to the trash and the original script will be regenerated the next time Climb! starts.
