The problem is that the objects are placed relative to the tile center. And the tile center is initialized to 0/0/0 until the tile was loaded. Everthing that comes before the btg.gz file (if there is one at all) is simply placed somewhere relative to the center of the earth. That's also why objects in FG_SCENERY dirs are ignored when they come before the btg.gz. Ugly! I'll have to put my local terrain in front (so that it can override other terrain), and put my local objects at last (so that it is guaranteed to come after the terrain). FG_SCENERY=$FG_HOME/Scenery/Terrain:$FG_ROOT/Scenery:$FG_ROOT/WorldScenery:$FG_HOME/Scenery/Objects This does still not solve the sea platform problem, of course. :-/ m. _______________________________________________ Flightgear-users mailing list Flightgear-users@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-users 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
