• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

MSFS20 Atrocious water elevation issues

Even after the new world update, there are areas (specifically in Virginia and West Virginia) that have these massive mounds, spikes, and plateaus around water features. When you get close to them, they snap into place and look normal. It's the strangest thing. I'm not the only one to notice it, per the forums, and I've put in zendesk requests multiple times to have them look at it and there's just no kind of response. Is there ANYTHING that I can do to fix these things across a wide area?
 
Best method to download a height map? It's a MASSIVE area... I'm about to attempt to fix two states.
 
If water elevation is correct when you are near a lake then that lake fixing method won’t work.
I did a lakefix to Finland and those spikes from far away appeared after the fix. When getting near the water, elevation is now correct. It’s a bug (or feature) in terrain LOD.

Yes... when you get close to the terrain spikes, it more or less snaps back into place. Sometimes there's a mound left. Lakes are still glitched out and on plateaus though.
