GE 4.xx clients send incorrect <lookatRange> values when terrain height is 
above sea level

older forum post the last time I messed with this. Note that the links in this 
post are no longer active.

Relevant Application(s): 
All clients since 3.xx

Steps to Reproduce: 

1) Open GE and type in zip 80203, fly to Denver with terrain NOT checked
2) Open Barry Hunter's View Based Network Link Echo double click and you will 
see an eye alt of 1km and <lookatRange>=1000. This is correct.
3) Check terrain, click network link twice. Eye alt will be 2.62 km (1617m 
terrain height + 1000m range). The <lookatRange> value now equals 2617. This is 
the bug, range should still be 1000m

Supporting Files: 
PHP is not enabled in the file section. Use link in step 2.
