Something strange going on between Atka and Adak

Strange shaped island

 

Another unfinished island?

Oh my goodness, have you been corrupted?

It looks like your game is corrupted. Post some more screenshots of other areas so we can see whether or not it might be corrupted. It could be a bug: Coding Error, Scenery Load Error, Installation Error, etc.

What are you seeing? Just normal jpegs. Look fine on my end.

I'm 98% sure that it is a scenery coding error in Alaska now.

I'm 98% sure that it is a scenery coding error in Alaska now.

So we should all be able to see it then?

I am 100% sure now.

Interesting goof there. I wonder how it really looks, like compared between Flight and GMap?

 

BTW, what was the time of year setting? Winter?

There's no place like this place, so this must be the place.

Yes, winter. Glad I was not seeing things and NOT corruped.

It's part of Tagalak Island according to charts. The satellite view doesn't have an image in that specific location, which possibly means there's no real terrain data there. It looks like it should be a few small islands rather than one larger one.

 

Why would anyone think that was corruption?

Alaska has brought a ton of bugs to Flight. Hope the next update fixes em. (Unlike FSX, we get continuous updates and patches instead of service packs)

I'd estimate the chances of that island getting fixed are somewhere between zilch and nil. The terrain data available for the area west of Dutch Harbor is pretty messy. One of those screen shots shows the stair stepping very well.

 

It might be worth reporting it on the Steam forum in any case.

LOL that little "circle" island actually has a hill on it -- made of water. It's fun driving the Icon uphill in the water. :lol:

There's no place like this place, so this must be the place.

I chose Adak as my "home" airport and Whittier as my "vacation" airport. I have flown this route several times but typically at night either in fog or clandestine. Interesting shape for sure.

 

Was this added to the bug thread? I really hope someone keeps that thread and then compares it to the next few updates and see what is fixed. Like I have said before, hard to get 600,000 square miles 100% accurate so these finds are more of easter eggs to me now :-)
