If you fly up Turnagain Arm from Anchorage to Girdwood Alaska then you will crash into a huge several hundred foot high stationary tidal wave. Beware when flying there in IFR conditions. How does this get fixed?

At 48"Lat between 123"Lon and 124"Lon (Olympic Peninsula, WA)nearest airports are KCLM and W28(Sequim, WA) just north, there is a twisted gap between scenery tiles.

N55E013 EKCH Kastrup

There is a ramp near the TDZ of runway 04L that sends a plane back into the air on landing. The terrain was re flattened for v9 as per the the default 850 format apt.dat submission.

Many other anomalies re terrain etc but will not have time to list them all (check previous emails) but a few particular ones that I hope are addressed are the join between what was included as dsf in v8 and then v9 in the northern hemisphere N64 N65?. There is an anomaly that circles the entire planet where the two data set detail levels are so different.

The other is the missing southern coast of Chile as per earlier email. I guess that was a QA issue.

At 174°W 36.5°S, a bit west of NZHA, there's a N-S ridge in the sea along the edge of the tiles. There's an east-west one at 39°S 178°E, east of NZWO and south of NZGS. There are two spikes in the valley floor, visible to the left from the threshold of NZQN rwy 05R (note that the high terrain on the right is real!), and in reality the hillside ahead does drop below the runway's center line.

NZMF is a mess (44.67°S, 167.9°W). The sound is missing, when in reality RWY 29 pretty much runs to the water's edge. The eastern edge of that tile, about 3nm east of the airfield, has considerable discontinuities, and there are notches and spikes all over the area. Mind you, the terrain is so extreme, that's not so obvious... but this airfield is (at least locally) very famous.

There is an area in Ecuador around Quito where the mountains are pretty funky, exhibiting EXTREME changes in elevation over impossibly short distances–spiky, spiky. They can be found at (near SEQU) 0.030 -78.66, 0.392 -78.40 and (near SEIB) 0.254 -77.97. I suspect that the data for that area was pretty messed up, regardless, the render didn't handle those errors gracefully at all.

At 19.00 S 105.6 W, just North of VVVH there is a long strip of land running out into the ocean due East (at the tile boundary.)

OK Ben, there's a bump on the middle of 15-33 rwy MMTO, tile +19-100. Already sent to Robin the new boundaries for this airport too(new taxiway) to update the flattening. Thx and looking forward for the new 'plausible' global scenery and illumination.
Regards.

At 47°47.5' N 13°0' E there's a vertical gap in the terrain right across the apron and taxiway of LOWS. Probably an elevation mismatch at the border between +47+012 and +47+013.
