Hi Jack,
If you want to rule out the sort of dumb stuff that I do here, try taxiing a
short bit. Do the slave views follow at the wrong altitude? Or is it
possible there's a comms problem and the slaves aren't getting updated at
all (so they start half submerged.) I'm pretty sure the net-fdm protocol
passes the correct absolute altitude so you don't have to worry
about instrumentation differences (unless you are trying to display another
altimeter on the slave ... then you need to make sure the atmospheric
conditions are setup to match on both systems.)
Curt.
