I just commited some minor tweaks to the hitlist/tilemgr code which seems to make the ground interesection code very robust.
As a test, I was able to land the yf23 on the *lower* level of the bay bridge (I hit the opening at about 140-150 kts) touched down, braked to taxi speed, and continued to taxi the entire lenght of the bridge (again doing this on the *lower* level.) There are some opportunities for further optimizing the ground intersection code, and Norman has done a lot of prep work on this, but the optimized stuff doesn't always get the right answer so we need to hammer on it a bit more and figure out why. It's probably worth doing since I see up to 200-300% improvement in the amount of time spent in the ground intersection code. And aside from drawing graphics, this is our biggest bottleneck, but it obviously has to give the right answer out the other end. Anyway, try to keep the 747 on the top level of the bridge only (and if anyone wants to disable the ability to fly under bridges because they don't want to see people training to do stupid/illegal/unsafe things, it is a very easy code tweak to remove ...)
