new designed KNID airport lower than the current one

Hi,

I designed new buildings for KNID, then I wanted to have the correct 
taxiways and I used taxidraw.
Before submitting this work I decided to try the new apt in the scenery, 
so I used Terragear with DEM-30 and v0noa.

The result is average +/- 6m lower than the elevation written in the 
airport diagram and also than the previous fgfs airport.

Was DEM-30 the good source for elevations ?

Is there a known problem with airport elevations ?

Now the VOR and TACAN stations are also a few meters above the ground.
Well, the whole airfield is rendered on a slight slope (that's nice and 
rather realistic) but the main airfield elevation, 2283 ft at RW3 
beginning, is far away from the center.
I suppose the navaids model are positioned at this elevation (which is 
the same in apt.dat.gz and the Airport Diagram).

Thanks for your comments,

Alexis
