I made YASim query the the ground cache at the wrong place. This one fixed
this, one can now land the bo105 on top of the oracle buildings :)

Is a followup of the scenery center update code: Register the scenery center
transform at the time it is put into the scene graph not at creation time.

I held that part back from the past hitlist patch, because I hoped that it
will be sufficient (and the last one was in fact the biggest part) without.
As some test cases from Melchior showed me, it is not. We have additionally
to the wrong computed transform from the prevous patch some roundoff
problems. This patch adds some small tolerance to for the point in triangle
test.
... may be one even needs to increase the eps value further if starting at
some tile boundaries still fails.

That is a big chunk.
Tested now for two days while hunting the second patch :) .
That is a partial rewrite of the groundcache to use its own datastructures for
that flat scenegraph in the cache. The basic advantage is, what Erik
suggested, to precompute some often used values of these triangles. Also
allmost all computations are now in double precision which should decrease
(hopefully fix), together with a similar tolerance for some point in triangle
tests, the problems with 'no ground below aircraft'.
I am playing with octrees for the groundcache, that will finally solve the
performance problem when high triangular count models end up in the
groundcache. This patch is also some prework for those octrees ...
places now use sgCartToGeod() instead of rolling their own
approximation. And YASim is now using exactly the same 3D coordinate
system as the rest of FlightGear is.
are cosmetic, but we now have a combination of code that seems to work
very robustly. I was able to land the yf23 at about 130 kts on the lower
level of the bay bridge and then taxi the entire length.
traingle strips right ... it was mixing up the vertex ordering slightly.
Oh what the heck, it was really screwing up tristrips. Everything else looks
correct though. :-) Hurray for the red book.
graph as the terrain, except for internal cockpit view. The SSG
scene-graph variables (except for the lighting root -- I'll get that
later) are now held in globals.hxx.
FGModelMgr::draw() is obsolete; I'll remove it in a future revision.
and fixes a 'potential bug' if the FGFS View code were to change
I also consolidated the specialized IntersectLeaf()
as they really didn't gain us much outside of their having
'more direct access into the SSG controlled data'
I would like to see the fgCurrentElevation functions moved
out of hitlist.cxx.
The one obstacle is their being dependent on my PLib
auxillary functions
ssgGetEntityTransform()
ssgGetCurrentBSphere()
