customer is doing collision detection between ownship and models
in his database - he fires off intersection rays and gets hit
coordinates returned that are related to his ownship's distance
from the world's center, not related to the distance between
the ownship and the model

is this normal?

also, what is the proper method to use to determine if his ownship
intersects a moving model? collisions with SCS objects works just
fine, but the DCS objects are absolute to the distance from the
origin and not the relative distance between models

thanks!

bye.
