Great scenery but I did stumble across one problem. I've never flown into this field and I noticed from a distance the elevation is very distorted and it almost looks like a mountain. Within a few miles of the field things smoothen out. This is the only field I'm seeing with this issue. I've attached a video that I've uploaded so you have something to reference. I wasn't able to figure out the field until I got considerably closer. Otherwise, great field! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TworK4yj8B4

Can't say I've ever seen that happen before. Don't have the slightest clue what would cause that to happen other than maybe a sim rendering issue? I just tried and couldn't get the scenery to do that at any range out to around 30 miles.

Just got back from taking the family out. Loaded up at the field and you're right, no issues. I did however notice after I spawned at the field, if I used the drone camera and moved away from the field a good distance and snapped back to the cockpit, the aircraft would fall through the ground and come back up. I'm wondering if this is something where it happens when you fly in from another field. The flight where this occurred is after I came in from Virginia. I'll have to test this again when I have some more time to see if it's a problem after loading when coming in from some distance and not just a short hop or loading in at the field.
