Hi Brad, It does kinda sound like you are pushing the manipulator to far, expecting too much from it.
One could write your own manipulator that is more application specifc and adds more intelligence about how it should behave when going near the terrain or looking from the far side of the earth. The osgGA::TerrainManipulator can't do too much as it's just so general purpose - it works for flat terrains and was a whole earth ones. Robert.
