I am afraid Emmanuel reuse X-Plane elevation, or set the same to every model of the area.

It runs on my "old" GeForce 5900Fx 128Mb and a new X1400 ATI Mobility. When I run Google Earth, Blender or FG at the same time, there can be display problems, but a redraw ( playing with the scrollbars ) usually cures the transient glitch. Otherwise, I have no idea what in your setup could cause this. > 2.

Personally, I have little interest in converting something already done by others. I am happy to help, but I prefer, and thing FG deserves it, original work. -Fred -- Frédéric Bouvier http://frfoto.free.fr Photo gallery - album photo http://www.fotolia.fr/p/2278 Other photo gallery http://fgsd.sourceforge.net/ FlightGear Scenery Designer ------------------------------------------------------- All the advantages of Linux Managed Hosting--Without the Cost and Risk!
