Hmm, do M$F$ and X-Plane use different ellipsoids for their scenery ?
To my understanding as long as both use an international acknowledged
reference system like WGS84, then there should not be the requirement
for a reference point.
Everything in FlightGear that relates to landcover schema is WGS84 and
I assume the SRTM elevation data is as well - did I miss something ?
