Description

Radar altitude on Pol S 61°50'42" E 64°3'19" is off by about -500m.
Needle of the altimeter runs beyond zero and rests at approximately 480m when landed.

As an aside bonus, the Tracking Station first showed the east coordinate as 424° and simplified it to 64° when I "flew" the ship and returned immediately after that.

PS: I don't know if this should go into Physics or Resources. I put it in the latter for now.

I believe this bug occurs right around here in my log, altitude 614m AGL, velocity 0.5m/s (orbital):

[WRN 20:54:24.235] Vessel lander crashed through terrain on Pol
[LOG 20:54:24.236] cupola (lander) Exploded!! - blast awesomeness: 0.5

The cupola exploded 614 meters above Pol's terrain.

Just the cupola. And this bug occurs for me on landing sites (plural, mind you) near the equator below the "sea level". (A landing at 48*01'24"N, 175*18'55"W, +- 230m, ASL 2.7625 km is successful, but just about anywhere else, for me? "Blast Awesomeness 0.5, Jebediah Kerman was lost!") The collision mesh for Pol seems to be disastrously wrong: The low points and slopes don't line up.

Confirmed in 0.24 x86 and x64 Windows.
