If any addons (community/marketplace) disable them and test again.
I did some more tests and discovered that if I have displacement mapping enabled, the error appears; if I disable it, everything is fine.
Still cannot replicate with displacement mapping enabled:
That’s strange. I ran the tests with the Community folder completely empty.
Weird issue. When I 1st selected this airport then click Start flight and the introduction animation shown up, I saw a column (displacement mapping was disabled). Then I clicked on Ready to fly, the column disappear and since then I cannot replicate, displacement mapping disabled or not.
Are you always getting those graphic glitches with displacement mapping enabled ?
I think it has something to do with the airfield’s elevation. If I look at the altimeter, I’m close to sea level, even though this airfield is at almost 2,000 feet. I think this is the reason for my error.
If you look closely at the image, the airfield appears to be in a giant hole.

I also noticed altimeter was showing sea level but thanks to point out that it is incorrect.
Same location as on you on the world map and displacement mapping enabled I don’t see the 2 columns (they are water):
I don’t think it is a SU5 Beta regression and probably exists in the live version. I would also recommend to report the airport elevation issue in the main thread: MSFS 2024 Airport / Helipad Issue Tracker, following OP instructions that come in their 1st post.
Not sure if could be the issue but do you have an AMD or Nvidia GPU ?
I have a nvidia RTX2060.
I have an RTX 3060, but I’ve actually noticed something strange at that airport since MSFS 2020; I’m just paying closer attention to it now.
I’ll report it in the correct thread.
Same terrain altitude issue in FS2020, aircraft altimeter also dispalys sea level when spawning C&D or on the runway.
