Deep holes in scenery? (Read 1027 times)

Has anyone found areas in scenery where there is a deep (unnatural) hole? I (sim) fly in the southwest Arkansas area where "Millwood Lake" is located. It is south of M77 Howard County Airport. Half of the lake elevation looks normal but the other half is about 10,000 feet below sea level. The surrounding land is elevated to (unnatural) mountain peaks.

Has anything like this happened to you? I'm trying to find if it is an error common to all CDs or just the one I bought.

I'm at work right now. I'll try to get some screen captures and some LAT-LONs to add to this thread.

Thanks,
Dave T.

Millwood Lake is off in the distance. You can see the huge (erroneous) peaks around the north half of the lake. The 15,000ft pit is beyond

Yep, gonna do a lot of turning and pulling in this hole.

I think I found another instance of abnormal craters in Oklahoma. Will have to see about that.

Does anybody else's scenery do this or is it just the data on my CD?

Thanks,

I have the same hole as well. I don't think it is just your software, as it most likely is in the programing.

And by the way, you can just press the modify button so you don't need to post that many times.

I was just trying to group the images by content. You know, 1 approach image, 2 ground levels, 2 at the bottom, and one high above.

Yeh ... that's the ticket. That's what I was doing.
After all was posted, the little overhead light came on and I realized I could have posted better.

I checked this out last night & this has to be the worlds largest water fall I have ever seen. I jumped into the float plane then used slew to land at the bottom of the falls & it is -15,000 ft. I wonder if you would get the bends if you were able to fly out of this hole Grin
