Hello performers!
I am considering using performer for a large-area flight sim
application. I used performer many years ago, and I think it should
do what I need, if my memory serves me. The only weirdness I am
encountering is that, much as I search the archives of this list and
the net in general, I see no references to importing into performer
terrain elevation databases from USGS (DEM and NED). Is noone doing
this? Or, how is it normally done?

Also, I plan to texture the terrain with satellite images, or
real-time video (aqcuired as I fly over the area). Does performer
have support for this built in or would I have to start coding it
from scratch in OpenGL?

Thanks for any help/pointers.
