Stefan,

The problem with loading more than two animations may indeed be memory-related (or Microsoft-related).

On my Linux box, with 4GB RAM, all three animations load beautifully. Google Earth itself is taking more than 2GB of RAM to do it, but it doesn't crash.

PS: I like the altitude for the compass points; you can fly *under* them and look up. They look like giant alien space invaders (remember the movie Independence Day?) ;-)
