Confirmed on stock FS2020. Of all the “flat-pack scenery” out there, a braided river system is one of the few that would get away with it, and indeed would be far preferable to this.

This definitely needs fixing! Surely adding a custom elevation map of the area would go a long way toward providing a better outcome for the flight sim community. There is a major heliport for the glaciers and an airstrip nearby, so the immersion when flying in this area takes a big hit when you come across the deformed course of the Waiho River…
