• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

That's why they market the heck out of it - so they can get thousands of people to pay to be beta testers.
Of course, you also have to have testers who do more than flying around looking for their house.

Disappointing that something like this slipped through in the center of a major city (the 1000-foot-deep Missouri canyon in FSX is a different matter) but I guess attention was elsewhere.

But is it "Oops"?

The scenery algorithm appears to correctly use the data it is given.
The only thing you can blame it for is not using more sources to detect anomalies.

I would CERTAINLY call this an "Oops!"
It is the end result that counts.
Why is it that this object immediately stands out to any human observer?

When one is pulling data from unreliable sources and any data source that your organization or a contractor does not own is "unreliable", one has to take certain measures to ensure data quality.

Imagine if your system published Telephone numbers for the United States and used written data scanned by OCR as its input.
If the system then starts publishing 9 digit phone numbers or 12 digit phone numbers just because it is what the input data appeared to be, it would be a pretty worthless system.
