Too many trees on the mountains is an old topic, but nobody taks about grass, green grass everywhere on vertical surfaces above 2000 meters, grass doesn't grow there... 
It also makes it difficult to identify landmarks.

That depends. In the alps for instance you can have grassland up to almost 3000 m, depending on the area. But yes, it obviously doesn‘t grow on vertical cliffs. I haven’t noticed that many wrong grasslands so far but there are many strange forests in the sim. I once saw a forest on an icy cliff at 3500 m. I think it has to do with shadows. In many cases, the AI seems to mistake them for forests.

I am really happy with the scenery overall, but there are lots of issues.

Like this one here:

The pool is colored grass. The house on the left missing.

Is there a setting in a config file to allow us to adjust tree line altitude? Another option would be able to use the scenery editor to set an exclusion zone around mountain peaks... I might try this, as it would be a quick and simple thing to do (theoretically), at least in my area where only a few mountains peak about the treeline.

There will always be "issues", there are billions of elements and you cannot expect to be everything 100% perfect.

Also, don't forget that in a FS you are supposed to fly and look at things from above at a certain distance, not walk or drive around like in GTA...

Who's to say that pool really isn't like that in reallife and it's full of weeds ? The owner really needs to add some chlorine!!

True, but it would be useful to teach the AI a few more things. For example there is data freely available for building types. They could place churches, shopping malls, hospitals, high voltage lines, etc ... or put radio antennas on the top of a mountain instead of a skyscraper ...

You should see South Side Chicago, it's a green mess. That area in real life has issues but that's another topic for another time, I fault Bing with this one.  We all know Bing is way behind Google Earth and the only way to get this corrected is Microsoft Bing now needs to step up to the plate and put their maps on the level of Google Maps (Earth). 

They do need better color correction of the base imagery (or just new imagery) in a number of locations.  better than nothing though.

How do you know there is a house on the left, if it's missing? 🤣

It's either a house, or the owner of the house to the right is a creative artist.

Jokes aside - I think the AI could've done a better job there. I also think it should be able to detect things like pools if it is able to detect trees.

Interestingly the house it actually has put, is displaced and has a wrong roof type ...

I don't think they are going to do that just because of our videogame, especially since that battle has been long won by Google.

p.s.
funny how the AI thinks that every single house in the Italian countryside is a rotten old Tuscany style farm and not a modern or more likely a 70-80s villa with a pool.
