accuracy of touchSensor in Contact5/6

I have a scene which was developed in Cortona and I'm trying to get it to
work in Contact.

The scene uses a large terrain model and I am using it as a touch sensor so
users can digitize points on the surface.

It works well in Cortona but in Contact the touchSensor only tracks around
the edge of the IFS and returns the wrong coordinates.

Is there a work around for this or does Contact have some other extensions
which might handle this better.

See an example of the problem at :..

I'd like to have working in Contact because navigation in Contact is so
cool. I love the way it hops over hilltops in fly mode.

Thanks
Steve Smith

I should have warned you that the example scene is 12MB so needs a few
minutes to load.
