I noticed this after landing at a small village in Colombia (Barranco Minas, SKIN) on the bank of the Río Guaviare. Is this something to be expected at all rivers which didn’t get manual treatment by the devs?

Pretty much, yes.
Fly west of St Louis’ main airport and check out the Mississippi. It looks crazy… it is raised up like 300 feet from the ground

This is sad then. 
Even in London ORBX the hills are made of water

Yes it’s a bit messy. It’s maybe like the water is always the same depth and change in height of the mesh under the water is causing it to be at different heights. It obviously needs to be changed so water is all the same height and levels out like the real thing.
10 IF terrain.type=“water” THEN terrain.slopegradient=false
20 GOTO 10
can’t be that hard to implement. I am surprised they let stuff like this happen. It looks disgusting and turns down excitement.

Higher resolution DEM will resolve this in most cases. I wish they’d bump that part of the SDK to a higher priority. Still waiting for the TODO to be replaced with actual information.
Ya I am really enjoying the sim so far just flying around GA but being a huge bush flying sim guy, especially in AK and Yukon there needs to be some serious work done to a ton of small lakes and rivers that the elevation is just totally off. When you can fly around Yukon and see lake after lake sticking up out of the ground it really ruins immersion for bush flyers.
I know there will be growing pains with this terrain streaming tech but I sure do hope that this kind of thing is high on the priority list.
Otherwise this sim and pretty as it might be will not meet the needs of bush flyers. Log into Hay River NWT and notice the wall of water.
In every other way though I am totally impressed with this sim so I really wanted to point this out.
