That's an old, well known bug. If you position fgfs exactly on the tile
boundaries
(*integer* lon/lat), the intersection code somehow falls through between
the
tiles. Try this:
$ ./fgfs --lat=87.001 --long=28.001 --altitude=3
Thanks - this worked a treat. I'm now flying at 32000 feet over the
breathtaking, er, sea. Oops - looks like I picked the wrong tile set :)
I wasn't sure if you figured this out:
Lat=87 and Long=28 would be a polar location, somewhere north of Murmansk.
Lat =28 and Long=87 is on the China/Nepal border
