I still remember the story of a bush pilot who was suffering vertigo - he figured out which way was up by looking at the orientation of a Caribou. The Caribou was above him. Patterns of vegetation can add variety - they can also be useful for navigation.
We model rivets with such detail - why not model the world they exist in? If we just wanted to model flight we would have the calculations with neither planes nor landscapes...
It isn't that hard to build a tool for altitude, latitude, concave vs. convex rules (compared to the other stuff Oleg is doing). Of course, it isn't a priority. I'm just impressed enough by what Oleg is already doing to let my imagination run wild.
