Pano2vr - 59.00 Euro (~86 USD) excl. VAT
flashificator - EUR 95
I like Pano2vr more because they offer HTML5 which means you can see tours on iPad.
Can I get something like flashificator www.regal360.com/clients/devils/index.html with Pano2vr?
Whici are you suggesting me to choose?

I think the answer is - yes, if you are willing to put in the effort to learn how to do it.
It will take a (long) while!
I'm not sure wthere all features shown in cited tour coiuld be made avilable via HTNML5 version of a tour created with Pano2VR.

Ill be honest. You couldn't replicate this tour with Pano2VR. Flashificator's functions are the the ultimate tool for customization and no other flash pano software out there has matched it or will match it for a long time. That is of course assuming you're not a hand coder.

I have nothing against Pano2vr (in fact I own it) but there is a reason I built this tour in FFC and not Pano2vr. I simply could not build this tour in Pano2vr. As Vito mentioned the ability to "record" functions is the key here and the reason FFC is the most powerful GUI in my opinion. Pano2vr has many excellent features but building a tour of this complexity to my knowledge can only be done in FFC.
Best of luck,
-Terry

But if you wish/need top produce iDevice compatible tours then FFC is not an option.

As a matter of fact, and apologies to Terry for ripping of his design (I had to try it, but have acknowledged his inspiration), it is quite possible with Pano2vr:

PS Far from perfect, but a reasonable attempt

Very nice, Jon. Both yours and Terry’s work are inspirations.
I haven’t used FCC, but in my few attempts to make custom skins in Pano2VR, I’m always chafing at the number of dialog boxes that have to be opened and closed, one by one. For example, if I want to change the text or background colors in a set of ten tooltips or hotspot titles, there’s no provision for batch selection and changes. It takes numerous clicks through numerous dialog boxes to get the job done. Likewise, swapping out a set of navigation icons needs to be done one icon at a time.
Pano2VR holds your hand when you’re a beginner. However, after you’ve learned the program it makes no provision for an efficient, productive workflow.

Well, the biggest problem is that Pano2Vr is, from the "artistic" perspective, quite crude. Trausti, bless his little Icelandic Peruvian-knitted socks, is an unusual man, since he clearly thinks out of the box. Thomas doesn't, and there have been many occasions when the natural progression of Pano2Vr hasn't occurred. Instead of having pinnable swf imports, for example, we get an obsession with html5 output, which I feel is useless and will remain so until Apple stop moving the goalposts (not to mention the fact that I think few look at virtual images on Smartphones). Thomas would do well to think in terms of his client-base rather than his own interests in developing a program, since it is ultimately us who keep him in clover.
For this particular tour, I had to spend hours, if not days, trying alternatives. Were I not an old fart, I would have learned Flashificator. Trausti knows this, as does Terry, but alcohol abuse has reduced the number of grey cells to such an extent that I can only remember the name of Piano2thebar. There is little space left for FFP...
