Looking at world demo from GDK it seems very nice except you can go flying by pointing camera up and moving forward. How would one go around moving(while allowing camera to be pointed up) forward? The FPS demo solves that by keeping camera Y level constant by not having different height levels in the area but whatabout if level is supposed to have different height levels? Ladders, hills etc.

Only solution I have had so far(keep supposed Y level of every co-ordinate stored somewhere) doesn't seem that feasible.

Yeah, that or calculate it on the fly, depending on the way used to generate the terrain. You have to feed the Y position somehow.

Use the terrain ground height at the x,z coordinate of the camera and add a fixed amount to that to get the y coordinate.
