Using 3D to solve a 2D problem is never the right approach. Your mention of OpenFlight makes no sense to me. OSGDEM can't take OpenFlight data as an input data source AFAIK. My understanding is you have a bunch of raster images you're feeding to OSGDEM (possibly with some DEM terrain data, but maybe not) and making a .OSG dataset. Explain to me what role OpenFlight is playing here. I could write you a 2D zoomable map window component that would mop the floor with what you're trying to do. You're using a gigantic hammer (OSG, 3D, openGL, OSGDEM) to solve a 'screw' problem that should really be solved with a screwdriver (2d graphics techniques). -- Chris 'Xenon' Hanson, omo sanza lettere Xenon AlphaPixel.com PixelSense Landsat processing now available! http://www.alphapixel.com/demos/ "There is no Truth.
