Hi,
     I plan on using Performer to drive the Out-The-Window display for
our F/A-18 flight simulator. The simulator generates WGS-84 earth
Latitude, Longitude, and Altitude positions plus Yaw, Pitch, Roll
(Euler Angles).

Question: How does one convert the Lat., Long., and Alt. to Performer
World Coordinates X,Y, and Z ??? ie for positioning the aircraft in
the Terrain DB.

The Terrain DataBase loaded will be MultiGen flight format generated
from DMA DTED.

I'm just getting started, but any help that points me in the right
direction would be appreciated.
