Status: WHITE (not

Developer Notes:
See
your other post about the glacier cliffs. This contradicts that request. La=
kes
in FSX are flat. The lake elevation best balances out the glacier cliffs wi=
th
what you are seeing in this location. This is a unique situation resulting =
from
Alaska's sharp terrain versus limits in mesh resolution.

Description: There shou=

e.
Status: WHITE (not
reproducable or out of scope)
Developer Notes:
This
is another glacier situation. The coastlines are dead-on. The lake must be
flattened. The glacier and retreating glacier sections are causing the clif=
fs
in the mesh data. If the lake is raised, it will cause unnatural dropoffs at
the other end of the lake. The cliffs, versus the real world, are an effect=
of
FSX's mesh precision limits.
