For what it's worth, I don't like this patch. It shouldn't make much
difference on 24/32 bit cards, which is probably most everyone now
anyway, but I think there is a different problem brewing somewhere.
I haven't had time to look into it, but the AGL reading on the HUD no
longer reads correctly. Somewhere along the lines we have introduced
some sort of height above ground bugs. I don't know if that is in the
ground cache code or elsewhere, but the HUD above ground display isn't
working right anymore.
If we get that problem fixed so the system knows the correct AGL, then
we wouldn't need to make this particular huge hack 5 times worse.
Somehow the gear still knows where the ground is, but I recall specific
patches to the individual FDM's. I've lost track of what is going on
with this section of code, but it's important and it really should get
fixed before we get too much further!
I'm going out of town on thursday and rushing to get a bunch of other
stuff done in the mean time, so I really can't look at this in the near
term, but someone really needs to volunteer to step up and track down
what is going on here.
Regards,
Curt.
