Err..umm..foul! ;-) If you look at the outputs in "/position/altitude-ft" you will note disagreement about where the ground is at starting KSFO. JSBSim seems to think KSFO is a 0 elevation by the way. If it is, then Yasim is wrong, since it reports a different value for alt and alt-agl on startup at KSFO. The other FDM's have a completely different take on the situation reporting the elevation a foot or two lower than JSBSim and Yasim. Basically it isn't that much of a problem if FDM's disagree, but the aircraft model offsets will need to be set for any discrepency from the default FDM if you use another FDM.
