  The VPB terrain system is mainly for non-dynamic terrain.

  Can you rely on shader support in your app? Some dynamic alteration would be 
possible by
shaders.

  Also, you should not use just one gigantic heightfield entity of constant 
resolution.
This is slow and inefficient. VPB/osgDEM splits your terrain into a quadtree of 
LODs,
ensuring better clipping and decimation of detail.
