* Terrain Y-Testing
***************************************************************************/
/*
* The Y-testing API allows you to locate the physical scenery mesh. This
* would be used to place dynamic graphics on top of the ground in a plausible
* way or do physics interactions.
*
* The Y-test API works via probe objects, which are allocated by your plugin
* and used to query terrain. Probe objects exist both to capture which
* algorithm you have requested (see probe types) and also to cache query
* information.
*
* Performance Guidelines
* ----------------------
*
* It is generally faster to use the same probe for nearby points and
* different probes for different points. Try not to allocate more than
* "hundreds" of probes at most. Share probes if you need more. Generally,
* probing operations are expensive, and should be avoided via caching when
* possible.
*
* Y testing returns a location on the terrain, a normal vectory, and a
* velocity vector. The normal vector tells you the slope of the terrain at
* that point. The velocity vector tells you if that terrain is moving (and is
* in meters/second). For example, if your Y test hits the aircraft carrier
* deck, this tells you the velocity of that point on the deck.
*
* Note: the Y-testing API is limited to probing the loaded scenery area,
* which is approximately 300x300 km in X-Plane 9. Probes outside this area
* will return the height of a 0 MSL sphere.
*

/*
* XPLMProbeType
