Terrain glitch South of Ted Stevens Airport

I was departing from Anchorage a few minutes ago and I noticed that a mountain was half 3D and the rest was flat.
There is a like cliff that goes straight down for a long way in both directions making the northern part flat.

Anyone seen this before or is it supposed to be like this?

It’s “meant” to be like this. Terrain north of 60° is flat.

This is not a glitch. Unfortunately, there’s no terrain north of 60°.

But why?
I don’t think the earth is 2D above 60*.

Did you read the linked item?

Yes.
Just did.

The scenery isn’t flat in real life, obviously. But it is in Infinite Flight, because the topography data they used didn’t have coverage that far North.

So we might see 3D in the future above 60*?

Hopefully, yes.
We check from time to time if there’s data available that we can use and once we find something, we’ll implement it.

Trust me, 2/3 of my own country is flat due to this. I probably want this more than most :slight_smile:

Well.
I don’t really fly above 60* so it’s no biggie.
Even if I do on a long flight due to the curvature of the earth I’m fast asleep .

One of the most common places I’ve landed at above 60n is Iceland… I always happen to be landing in the dead of night through, so I never noticed there was no 3d terrain until now :sob:

Silly me :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

I knew farther north was flat, from previous flights I’ve done there for fun. I didn’t know it was this far down though. Interesting. Still though, I’m usually there in the dark lol.
