Aaah, I see. > I'd like to take another shot at it, but the scenery-loading code is > particularly obfuscated, and I find it slow going. It'd certainly make life a lot easier. Getting locations for objects to add to the scenery is easy, getting the elevations is particularly time consuming if you're gonna start the sim at each point. The only other option is fgsd, and I haven't found it particularly stable. (It's *really* annoying when it decides to fall over just as you've entered 100+ static objects). -- Jon Stockill [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
