Hello list,
I created a WCS with MapServer 7 (on windows), which displays elevation data. 
I have some problems which I can't solve and hope you can support me.

1.) Since I'm using a Tileindex I need to fill the Layers metadata-tags 
"wcs_size" and wcs_resolution". Unfortunately, the documentation of MapServer 
doesn't give a hint what values to use for this tags. I read somewhere that the 
values come from GDAL when you create the Tileindex with GDAL, but I didn't 
create the index with GDAL.

2.) The Input data are 1km tiles with 2000 x 2000 x 8 BPP, 32-bit, 96dpi. If I 
request the WCS I get a 24-bit image back. I tried to define different output 
formats, but couldn't find a solution yet.

3.) I tried to display the WCS in QGIS, which works, but it works really slow 
and I get an image with huge pixels back. If I request the height values and 
compare it to the original data, they are correct, but instead of float-values 
I get integer-values back. E. g. 42,33355m becomes 42m. Is there a way to 
influence this?

4.) If I request the WCS via browser with version=1.0.0 I get a fast response. 
If I request it with version 2.0 I always get a Timeout. Is there a problem 
with the different versions? Maybe that explains why QGIS is so slow.

You find my mapfile below:
