Ref T268, XPlane testing showed: height has an influence on the returned elevation result

Browse Source 
* the most accurate value seems to be returned if the height is close to the elevation
* in normal scenarios there is no much difference of the results if 0 is used
* in Lukla (9200ft MSL) the difference between 0 and 9200 is around 1ft
* in the LOWW scenario using 50000ft MSL results in around 3ft too low elevation
