Try using the following to reproject your data...

gdalwarp -s_srs "proj=latlong +datum=WGS84" -t_srs "proj=utm +zone=11 
+datum=WGS84" infile outfile

Do this before using osgdem on your data files. UTM zone selection will be 
dependent upon where your lat/lon is...

Hi Glenn,
Thanks for the tip.. but i really need to know,

Where should i do reprojection? In my dted-2 files and/or in my GeoTiff.file 
(since their projections are both Geographic - Lat/Lon) before executing osgdem?
Or should i do re-scaling or whatever after i load terrain in osg application?
And What tool or command option should i use to reproject to UTM?

thanks in advance..

Atilla.

Try omitting the s_srs portion of the gdalwarp command to see if that makes any 
difference.

I believe dted files will need to be reprojected as well since VPB builds the 
database using the source data coordinate system.

Hi Shayne, 
Hi Glenn,
Thanks for ur kind replies..

Shayne,
As you know MyTerrain.tif file projection info was;
Geographic ( Latitude / Longitude ) 
[N:36, E128] [N:38, E130] is in Utm Zone 52
Datum : WGS84
Unit : Arc degrees.

i tried to reproject MyTerrain.tif file using ur gdalwarp command like this..
gdalwarp -s_srs "proj=latlong +datum=WGS84" -t_srs "proj=utm +zone=52 
+datum=WGS84" MyTerrain.tif MyTerrainUtm.tif

command prompt displayed such an error;
ERROR 1 : Translating source or target SRS failed:
proj=latlong +datum=WGS84

Is gdalwarp command true in terms of parameters?
And one more question.. Should i run gdalwarp command for each of my dted-2 
files which have Geographic projection before using osgdem?

Thanks a lot,
Atilla.
