@namirda first off THANK YOU for taking the time to create this and then to SUPPORT it!!
Do you have a "Contribution" path to where we can donate some $$ to you for your efforts and support?
I have downloaded and installed the latest version (I think... Ver 2.1.0) of VLM and it seems to load just fine but when I click on Virtual Mission in GE it suddenly seems to elevate up a couple of thousand feet above where I'm supported to be located and "appears" to fly the mission from that elevation as opposed to the 175' I have for my waypoints.
If I export the 3D path to see what the flight should look like it looks what I would expect but as already stated when I launch the Virtual Flight it ZOOMS sky high automatically. I'm sure it's something simple and painfully obvious but I can't find the solution easily.
Thank you in advance.

Hi Allen,
Thanks but there is no need for any contribution - this is just a nice little hobby for me and I enjoy tinkering with it when the weather is not good enough to fly in real life!
With regard to your problem, please check that GE has elevation exaggeration set to 1 (GE/Tools/Options/3DView). Any other value will certainly cause confusing problems.
If that does not fix the problem then please take a look at the Diagnostics folder in your VLM mission:
1) Do the "Waypoint Path" and "Smooth Flight Path" look correct? Move the view around with your mouse and check that the positions and elevations look correct.
2) Do the "Waypoint Views" at each waypoint look as you expect?
3) Is it only one specific mission causing the problem or is it all/any mission? Try opening a public mission on the Mission Hub as a test.
If those steps do not lead you to a solution then please post an image which demonstrates your issue and a link to your csv file so I can take a look.
Thanks
Neil
