What's with the water going up hills when seen from afar (more than 5 or 10 miles) after update 7? Never seen this before this update. When I get very close it suddenly looks ok.

This is Saba

 

This is Sint Eustatius, same happens in St. Barths

 

Zoomed in

 

Are you guys seeing this also?

Ya I've seen that south of Naples, Italy

Saw it on several surrounding islands after departing Friday Harbour in the USA North West.

Same on some of the Gulf Islands, BC.

Have you noticed it before update 7 or after?

Never seen it before Update 7.

I've seen it before the update.

I've noticed this alot now.  Sometimes when you fly closer to the hills concerned it corrects itself presumably because it's switching to a better LOD. Maybe it's new since Update 7 or maybe I was not flying enough in the right parts of the world.  Time for a ZenDesk

THANK GOD, in the main forum everyone is telling me it is my computer. It is absolutely after this patch. It is terrible. It is all over the place, and it pops into place as you fly over it. The San Juan islands, lakes in Colorado all do it... now I feel like it isn't just me going nuts. But it is a serious immersion killer. 

I always do island hopping and never noticed it before this update. Guess something went bad regarding the lod. Going to Zendesk it too.

Ooh just went south of Naples definitely much worse than before.

I see this also in Alaska. Coastlines are affected regardless of the presence of elevation. Look at the dark contour not following the actual coastline...

This is definitely something new or at least much more noticeable with the latest update. I posted a screenshot on the official forum and reported to Zendesk. Please upvote it at Coastline glitch - water creeping up coasts/cliffs - Self-Service / Bugs & Issues - Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums

This is a new problem. I believe it was somewhat there before but now it's worse.

They need to rollback the mesh to the previous version, it's a mess overall. Like others said, there were some issues prior, but now it's 100x more common.
