Currently not, but it wouldn't be hard to implement. Just store branch/lon/lat/elev/hdg in FGDeferredModel rather than the finished transformation matrix, move WorldCoordinate() from tileentry.cxx to tilemgr.cxx, and then check if elevation is set to <-9999, and if so, replace it with the actual elevation, then make the matrix etc. That way one could set a model's elevation in the *.stg file to -10000 and get it positioned on the surface. Or something. m. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
