Thanks for posting those. As you say, the time spent in
DoGroundElev() looks quite frightening. I'm afraid I have no idea how
to make the function call more efficient - walking hit lists and so
forth isn't really my forte.
However, it does look as though you are hitting it

1 is the total time flightgear has been running.
2 is the total time

Can you direct me to where i can find HitList::fgCurrentElevation()? i
have run grep on simgear and flightgear plus searched in google and
I still cant find mention of this function.
FGFS_SRC / Scenery / HitList

Is it possible to determine if a vehicle is in the viewing area of the
plane using the lon, lat of the vehicle?
No
FWIW
Using a Lat Lon representation of your position is horribly inefficient
So I recommend doing all your motion relative to a local plane

Hi
Hi,
I am following the code in FGAILocalTraffic::DoGroundElev() to get the
elevation of an object in space at a particular lon, lat. When I display
the model it is placed under the ground and is not visible. If i add
elevation to the value returned from DoGroundElev the model becomes

This is great, thanks for the reply. I have now started and will be
asking questions as needed. What is the best way to create a
simple vehicle taking into account I have no experience with graphics?
