| Summary |
FGElev is a utility program used by osm2city and others to dynamically read elevation and material information at a specific lon/lat coordinate. The program uses a command line interface for dynamic query one coordinate at a time. The C++ based osm2gear is also using FGElev - however it would be easier to call a C++ function in SimGear directly instead of interprocess communication. Therefore, it is proposed that the introspection logic is moved from fgelev in FlightGear to a function in SimGear and only the CLI interface would stay in FlighGear.
