[Jsbsim-devel] Field elevation, altitude ASL and altitude AGL

[Fabian G. <fab...@gm...>]

Hello,
It seems there's still something broken in the field elevation and flight
altitude issue.

If in the init file I set :
  <elevation unit="FT">   5,000  </elevation>
  <altitude unit="FT">    15,000  </altitude>

In the output I get:
   Altitude ASL = 20,000 ft, while  Altitude AGL = 15,000 ft.

I would expect:
   Altitude ASL = 15000 ft, and Altitude AGL = 15,000 - 5,000 = 10,000 ft.

The property "position/terrain-elevation-asl-ft" correctly reports 5,000 ft.
