Yes actually all I've seen on this particular issue is a "mishap" the software doesn't bail out or crash which is what it did in some cases before Tony's fix. The airport database shows 2020ft as the elevation (which matches this: http://www.airnav.com/airport/CL77 ). The tile for the runway that is actually at 1933ft. If you set --altitude=1933 when starting at CL77 the mishap does not occur. Could this just be a problem with scenery data? And I guess I'm wondering still if it is possible to set the plane on that tile before reporting position to FDM's so that it still works even if there is a data problem. This may or may not be related but when I start up at an airport for which i have no scenery, the elevation is below 0. At EHAM it is -17 ft as shown in /position/altitude-ft.
