I've looked into the problem of the terrain looking too low when on the runway. At first I thought it might be a camera collision detection effect, but that's not it. I then added a debug display to the viewer screen that shows the height in meters of the terrain above the WGS-84 ellipsoid. Here's the result:
As you can see, the terrain is 4.87 meters below the ellipsoid, while the aircraft CG is about 30 meters above the ellipsoid (local elevation plus aircraft sitting height). The terrain is about 33 meters lower than it ought to be.
