Hmmm, I've had a quick look at the code in question (simgear/scene/tgdb/odj.cxx
computeRandomObjects), and it doesn't look like it has changed since I wrote
it, so
I'm surprised it no-longer works.
Unfortunately I can't test this at present as my graphics card is kaput. That
isn't going
to be resolved for a couple of weeks, so if someone wants to take a look, they
are
welcome.
Sorry I can't be of more help, or maintain my own code in a timely manner at
present.
