YES

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:

The mountains disappear, and gaps or reflections of the sky and other surrounding environment appear instead - almost as if the mountain terrain was water. This makes it impossible to fly properly.

If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:

The screenshot of the OP is very clear

I have the same problem too

Do you use a custom mesh? I had it with all available custom meshes in the Swiss Alps, now using none of them anymore…

SOLVED, i have deleted and reinstalled italian alps 20 DEM from flightsim.to…
now works flawlessly

I don’t have any custom meshes / custom scenery, only default world update.
Now I try to uninstall / reinstall Italy World Update and Swiss/Austria World update.

I notice this problem over Cortina d’Ampezzo / Giau Pass

Staying a little away from the mountain, everything is fine, if I get a little closer, the terrain disappears.

If I turn off the option - Bing Data World Graphics - the problem goes away.

I also installed the latest Europe Alps scenario, but nothing changes.

Perhaps this is similar to - or the same as - the “popping area tiles” issue?
