-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 I was working on trying to find the cause why tower altitude set to 70 in apt.dat wasn't correct and caused ATC aircraft to end up under ground.
As far as I understood we use same format as x-plane for apt.dat? Then the tower elevation in apt.dat should be ft above ground. FlightGear stores the tower altitude under /sim/tower/altitude-ft. ATC use this as absolute altitude. Shouldn't that property be renamed to "altitude-agl-ft" in order to indicate that it is relative to ground? That naming scheme is used under /position. Or the property could be changed to give the altitude above sea level maybe?
