Should be a breeze.

Essentially you are assuming that the runway elevation field in the
FGInterface structure is getting updated externally by FlightGear, but
FlightGear treats everything from FGInterface on down as 'read only'.
So whatever this value starts out as on initialization is what it
stays at if YASim doesn't change it.

FlightGear provides 'scenery->get_cur_elev()' which you could grab
every time your 'update()' is called and stuff into the
runway elevation field in FGInterface ...

Curt.
