How to load 16-bit terrain files..??

Post by alpan »

Hello,
can someone tell me why the terrain file must always be 8-bit?
Why it is not possible to load a 16-bit file.?
i try to make a program that displays geographical data in 3d and i want to load 16-bit terrain files in order to make more detailed views.

Anyway , if this is not possible now, please consider it for the future.

Thanks
Panos.
