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.
