This may be totally unrelated, but ... The FPE issue I posted about the other day is triggered when the tile manager is initialized. Could it be that tile manager is getting a bogus starting point due to this FPE bug, and that bogus value is making it's way to the FDM's? -- Cameron Moore / If a person with multiple personalities threatens \ \ suicide, is that considered a hostage situation? / _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
