FGFS defualts to an altitude of -9999. As soon as the scenerey is there (either via a tile or via autognereated ocean) FGFS detects that the plane is below ground level and puts the plan on the ground level. So no matter where you start you'll always stay on the ground at the beginning (unless you manually passed a higher altitude). > > Anyway, I start out "floating" with no scenery in sight, only sky above > and below.

Ah, so the code that checks if the plane is below ground level isn't called (or broken).
