[osg-users] PagedLOD with externals

[Stephan Kussmaul]

Hi Robert,

Thank you for the feedback. We are looking into updating soon and we 
will also try this in the latest version.

But in this case I suppose that it is just a wrong approach. We might 
need to adjust the radius of the PagedLOD by hand when placing the 
external reference. When exchanging the external later that wouldn't 
help though, but would be acceptable.

From this OSG will determine the bounding box for clipping. Then the terrain tile will be loaded in the PagedLOD, but the extend of the terrain tile is greater than that of the dummy due to the big airfield. Thus, OSGViewer will clip out the entire tile with airport whenever the dummy bounding box is outside the field of view, even though the airfield is still in the field of view. OSG would have to overwrite the bounding box after loading the page file.
