Question about water in some maps (bug?)
« on: June 20, 2021, 12:53:49 PM »

Recently I was testing out some maps, until I notice that a few maps have this some sort of water glitch that the water is bellow the map itself. I wasn't too sure if anyone has talked about this before.

For examples:





Here's when I tried how it would look if I try to put my aircraft in the water.

This was the result:


Now here's the question: Is this bug really a problem or not? I'd love to hear some responses.  ;)

To put it simply, it's not a bug.  It's just the way the map was built and sometimes the height of water is not correct.

Thanks CzechTexan, it does make sense since if you locate the ocean on one of the maps, the water is not bellow the map. But, on land if you locate one of the rivers, it is.

Water is always placed at elevation zero. That's why so many maps, especially stock maps, have rivers that extended well into mountainous terrain nonetheless follow a zero elevation canyon all the way into the 'headwater', even if the real river rose in elevation with increasing distance from its terminus. Just so that this disparity you note here not be present.
