Adding 10 meter elevation data to fs2002...

I got the 10 meter USGS dem file that I wanted. I
translated this dem file into a binary file that fs2002
can use with a util. called read_dem.exe. I then created
an inf file per the instructions in the scenery SDK, and
used the resample.exe util. to create a bgl file. I
viewed this bgl file on the bgl viewer that comes with
the sdk. It looked great--rich with detail. However,
when I place this bgl file in the scenery sub-directory
of the addon scenery folder per the instructions in the
sdk, I can see no change in the resolution of the
landscape I'm trying to modify when I fly around it. In
this case the landscape is Yosemite Valley, and a major
feature in the valley is a monument of granite
called "Half Dome". When I fly by half dome, I see the
same featureless lump I saw before I added the higher
resolution elevation bgl file.
I did this thing absolutely by the book, but I just can't
seem to get the higher resolution to take. It's driving
me crazy. If anyone out there knows anything about
creating custom elevation bgl files for fs2002 I'd love
to hear from you.
