I don't recall the max LOD I've used before, I think it was higher
than 16 though, but this was for whole earth dataset with inserts down
to sub metres res image data.  For these really big datasets you have
to use vpbmaster and use a distributed build multiple
machines/processors.

The VPB automatically stops generating new levels once the
elevation/image data is a higher enough resolution, on the leaves of
the whole scene graph, properly represent the source DEMs/Imagery.  So
a level of 99 won't ever be hit, the VPB will automatically stop well
before this, the level parameter you give vpbmaster/osgdem is simply
the maximum number of levels you want to build.

Cheers,
Robert
