Curt,
You left a "FIXME" comment that the altitude should be for 29.92 inHg
and rounded. The encoder reports mode-c-alt-ft, so this patch points
the altitude node to this value and removes the redundant + 50 from the
FL rounding routine.
This requires a working encoder. Any AC using the encoder should have
<instrumentation>
...
<encoder>
<serviceable type="bool">true</serviceable>
</encoder>
...
</instrumentation>
in the "name"-set.xml file.
