What is needed in the game is a method of determining the airfield height...
At the moment, if I'm in a co-op and start at airfield 'A'.. I simply look at the altimeter and note the height whilst I'm on the ground.. this is ok if I'm returning to that airfield at missions end.
However, if I'm not returning to that airfield, but instead returning to airfield 'B'.. I have no way of knowing the airfield height.
In reality, when I'm flying in the real world, I simply request airfield information along with my radio check before landing.. I'd then recieve QFE and QNH info.. It's a pity that in our radio commands in game, along with our requests for headings to return to our airfield, and permission to land etc that we don't have the ability to request this info..
