Altitude on multiplayer

Over multiplayer, the altitude source is the radio altimeter (I think). Anyone knows how to change the source by the altimeter? (based on pressure).

Its absolute altitude above sealevel.

You would have to change the pilot-list if you want to see above ground level altitudes.

If you want to see altitude as shown by the aircrafts altimeter, you would have to send the altimeter altitude over MP also, means modifying each aircraft you see. Or you could subtract the aircrafts absolute altitude from your own, and then add that difference to your own altimeter altitude, should give a rough indication.
