Added support for absolute altimeter or for range finders mounted on a gimbal such that they are alway vertical, so there is no need to rotate from body to earth frame.
A parameter is used to enable this feature.

WARNING: requires also the pull request in PX4/Firmware with the appropriate modifications to EKF2 module.

This is the PR in PX4/Firmware: PX4/PX4-Autopilot#11130

Why don't you just set _R_rng_to_earth_2_2 to unity in the case of an attitude compensated range sensor?

It's a good question :) but actually I don't know if that rotation matrix (or only the coscos in R[2][2]) can be used in other scenario.

Please provide a test log. For a simple change like this, it could be using SITL, with the range finder modified to provide true HAGL.

I'm closing this as it has become stale and there has been no progress for some time. Please rebase. and open a new PR with test evidence.
