Thanks Chris, I actually compile osgEarth and osgGIS last week and played around with them a bit thinking I may go in that direction. I was having trouble getting the vpb driver to work properly and the osgEarth vpb driver page even says: "If at all possible, you should run osgEarth against the original source data instead of using this driver. You will get better performance with suffer fewer headaches. " Are you suggesting replacing VPB with osgEarth entirely for my needs vs generating a VPB terrain file and combining it with osgEarth?
