Is there anyway to stop floating aircraft?

I know that this is common because of the different flight sims on the network but literally every plane at EGCC is floating. Is there a way to lower them in my settings or something?

vPilot has this feature. Are you using vPilot or another client?

Guessing this is xSquawkbox. There's a lot of floating going on with it, because A, it doesn't correct for it; and B, the other users will not only potentially be on FSX/P3D with different elevations, but since XP offers non-flat aerodrome surfaces as an option, 50/50 of XPers around you will be on completely different elevations as well.

 

The next version of xSB is said to include ground elevation correction. When it arrives is anyone's guess. The latest progress update came out last July.

In Swift, this problem has been solved:

PS: you can see one aircraft, an Iberia CRJ900, "eating dirt". Explanation: this pilot had just connected when I took this screenshot, before Swift moved it to the correct altitude.
