Blaq The altitude problem while a real pain in the arse, is not a bug, we have know about it from the point at which we put Altitude mapping in the software, the problem is this, in order to gain some form of level ground, there is a one pixel or larger area around the image with the color 128,128,128 or netural gray, This according to the programmers, gives the ability to do altitude mapping, because we use this color as a middle reference for setting the bumps or altitudes. I like you agree that it is not what I want, but I would like to state, firmly, that this is not a bug, we know about and it was made that way, so I guess you could say its a design flaw, one we are working on in order to fix it, however we are stumped and are looking for some, resonable way of fixing it without the process of re-writing the rendering engine, which would take far too long. I will keep you posted. Mike
