UI/UX Altimeter Shows Altitude to Seafloor After Landing in Ocean

[TechieV]

Reported Version: v0.1.5 (latest) | Mods: none | Can replicate without mods? Yes 
OS: Windows 11 Home 64-bit (10.0, Build 22621) | CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G with Radeon Graphics (12 CPUs), ~3.9GHz | GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 | RAM: 16GB

 

Frequency: Med (Happened 3/3 times I tested it (Twice with Suborbital rockets and once with a plane.)

Severity: Low (Workaround: Switch to Sea Level Altimeter Mode)

 

Description:

I was flying a suborbital rocket and landed the command pod in the ocean. I expected the altimeter (at ground level) to show 0 or negative values once I landed, because it would be at or below sea level. What happened was that the value was not 0 and lower, and a very large number. I think that was the altitude from seafloor, because switching the altimeter to Sea Level mode showed 0 and negative numbers.

Steps to Recreate:

·        Land a craft in the ocean, but before landing, take note of the altitude and altimeter mode.

·        Take note of the altitude and altimeter mode after landing.

The altitude should be positive after landing, even if the altimeter mode is the same.
