@SafuanPani Hi. I have exactly the same thing! In exactly the same place. I thought it was because of snow but you have the same in no snow conditions. Here is mine below. It happens in the west valley on the way to see the Vajont Dam from LIUG.

Fly a bit south again and it corrects itself. I didn’t fly further north to see how far the problem goes.

Also the terrain near that POI looks wrong. I mean, a dam should be holding water back, right? But behind that dam, the terrain drops down weirdly and the whole area is covered in trees. No water.

It’s not because of the snow. This always happens with an altitude does not exceed approximately 1800 feet.
I have already reported this issue to Zendesk, but they hope there are enough votes to make a decision.
I flew many kilometers to the north. Yes, there is a moment when the phenomenon disappears, also to the south, but the extension is very considerable.

Thanks for your contribution.

I have the same issue. Thought it might be addons but removed everything and still occurs. Need to fly close to the terrain to see it so need to fly a helicopter. I have spent a considerable amount of today mapping the area affected flying the H145. It is a rough square with southeast corner just northeast of Tignes and the northwest corner northeast of Marmolada. Sides are roughly aligned e-w and n-s but there are exceptions with an internal unaffected area east of the valley with Longarone in it including the region round the Vajont dam. Though invisible the ground is still present as i have crashed several times with the steep topography.

Further examination shows that the north and south boundaries are straight lines roughly E-W the eastern and western edges are for the most part defined by the east and west boundaries of Belluno province. I fly a lot around mountains elsewhere in the world and have not seen this issue anywhere else but the Dolomites.
