Exactly, this is what it was designed todo and how it was designed to be used but you are the only one so far to 'get it' :-) FYI - with just a slight modification to the top level routine the hitlist stuff can be used for general intersection testing. just use the appropriate eyepoint and 'ray' FWIW - I really don't understand why the FDM folks haven't been using this as I wrote it several years ago so that one could get an elevation per wheel Norman _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
