forcing the tile boundary crossing with --airport-id=KBOS --heading=270 causes my fork to mis-behave too :-( So this has got to be something endemic to how the airport scenery can be in different 'tiles'. My guess is that inorder to make this new routine work with scenery that isn't 'strictly tiled' like this there will have to be something stuffed into the userdata part of the ssgBranch Node so that the graph walking functions know where to 'jump to' inorder to get the proper transform. But that kindof sucks in that this means an extra test for every ssgBranch :-( IMHO The 'right' way to fix this of course is to split the airport data into the tile structure so that 'all' surface data follows the same scheme. >> I'd better just go back into lurk mode I guess > >I guess you have to eventually pick one side of the fence or the >other. :-) Well I really only 'decloaked' because there appeared to be considerable confusion as to how the scenery went together so I thought I could help by posting what I had gleaned of your magic over the years. However given the rukus this caused ..... FWIW If I were you I would seriously consider changing the way FGFS handles the airport data so that it is not a 'special case' FWIW2 - I agonized a long time over forking the code < read years > so I would be surprised if my decision to go the other way could be made any quicker apologies for the line noise Norman _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
