OK, NOW we're talking - do you have any of that more precise data you could
avail derived from the PEDR files? (Did you generate your own EGDR?) the
1/64 EGDR data is 506mb as  I recall - yours would be close to 2gb.

I was in the proccess of downloading the PEDR's - and actually am about
halfway there, but I put it on hold temporarily due to dwindling blank CD-R
media on hand.

Extremely useful information, will stash it away - certainly a preliminary
step is to become familiar enough with the existing code first.  Nice
headsup on the flight model - sounds like another area where "Flat Earth
Thinking Falls Flat"

Will check out your page tomorrow, It's the middle of the night here, and
I'm headed back to bed.
