Hmm, do M$F$ and X-Plane use different ellipsoids for their scenery ? To my understanding as long as both use an international acknowledged reference system like WGS84, then there should not be the requirement for a reference point. Everything in FlightGear that relates to landcover schema is WGS84 and I assume the SRTM elevation data is as well - did I miss something ?
