There are two possible issues. 1 can be corrected by selecting File, Settings, 
General Tab, Altitude Offset = "From Sea Level." Or 2, you do not have a good 
enough GPS lock for altitude to be correct. 4 is the minimum, but the more 
satllites you have, the better the accuracy.

I found clicking 'home' button (set altitude home) fixed this problem.  I
would have worked it out before but I display the gs on a small screen and
the button does not show.  RES 800*600 windows xp.

I would love to see an option to make the flight path drawn on Google earth
only stay on the screen for a set amount of time so you effectively have a
short tail following the plane .  Can get a little confusing after some
time.

Great work, love the gs

That's a good idea. I also wanted to make the trail change colors on mode 
changes... the only reason I haven't is because the JavaScript is a nightmare 
to debug.
