Simple answer: The one your altimeter is showing. As long as your altimeter is showing less than 65 (or better:60), you are golden. You don't really need to know what part of your plane has to be below dar alt.
The radar is using the same number as a reference as your altimeter is.
OK that is what I wanted to know the game setting is determining safe or not regardless of aircraft manufactured height.  :aok

Actually it's a significant difference, that 5 feet is worth 8% of your underdar "buffer zone"

<side note> 65 feet is way too low.  It's only possible to stay underneath that if you are flying over the ocean.

Registered how?

Film it and look at the ALT on the film to be certain.

Go fly and test with another person.
Film your flight.
Have them confirm over VOX when your dot becomes visible
Save Film
Watch film
Stop film at point above.
Look at your altitude in the film viewer.

When testing and you think you had 60, how did you test because I see no reason why it would not be exactly 65.

Also update rate is a minimum of 2 secs. closer planes update faster then planes a long ways away.

How many people are online can change the update rate of distance planes.

Only change I would like to see is that low level bombers such as a20's, b26's and bostond be able to fly in formation below 65'   :headscratch:
They call it "common sense", then why is it so uncommon?
