Minor stream water masks and water in washes in desert.

I have started a wish list post over at the official forum.   I cant believe this issue has not been brought up more often.

"Hi Asobo, I was flying around Colorado near Telluride and noticed lots of shimmery lines on the mountains. Upon closer look these are watermasks over minor streams. It looks really bad. Because of hi res satellite photo this seems completely unnecessary. 9 times out of 10 in real life these streams are 5 or 10 feet wide at the most and most are obscured by trees. What would be nice is if Asobo could work to exclude minor streams and dry desert washes from the stream map data. For instance there are water masks all over washes in Arizona that in real life would have no water in them. Let’s take Tucson for example. The sim shows large rivers all through out the city when in reality these are just sand 99.3% of the time. There is a stream that comes off of Mt Lemmon that is so narrow I could stand across it in real life. But it has a 75 foot wide water mask with an exclude over the data. In real life this stream is completely obscured by trees. I think it would be fairly easy to exclude minor streams I would think, but maybe not so. Could the AI figure out that if a stream dosen’t show a certain amount of a certain color not to draw a line over the location of the stream? Or is that data completely separate. I have noticed this all over the world. Madeira seems to have canals on the side of the mountain or data got corrupted and those are supposed to be roads? This is my biggest wish."
