ATM way too busy with a NASA project and a two new customers knocking at the door; otherwise would gladly give a hand. Did a "half-baked" version of Mark's code a few years back ( never got my head around the plib scene graph stuff even with lots of help from Curt and friends ). Still the visual effects were quite realistic, especially when emerging from a cloud as it thinned and the terrain became visible and the opacity can be varied with the code. A nice feature for investigating the problems associated with transitioning from an IMC instrument approach to visual conditions for flare and landing.
