Wrong altitude reported to VATSIM

Since the last update of xPilot I have developed a strange problem... the altitude reported to VATSIM is about 20,000 lower than the actual altitude at which I am flying. When flying below about 20,000ft the altitude reported to VATSIM is negative!!!

I fly with British Airways Virtual and their ACARS system is receiving the correct altitude so it is likely to be xPilot or something else in the chain from xPlane to VATSIM.

Can anyone help please? It is stopping me from flying on VATSIM as my Mode C altitude is always wrong.

TIA

 

I am using:

Windows 11

X-Plane 11.55r2 (build 115501 64-bit

xPilot 2.0.0-beta.39

This has been reported by a few people, but I’ve not been able to track down the cause yet (I can’t reproduce it). 

What aircraft are you flying?

Do you by any chance have a link to the thread that can be shared?
Just in case some data can be contributed to troubleshoot the issue.
