FS2004 must be littered with many abnormalties. I have been flying around the world as close to the equator as possible. On my current leg I left Port Moresby (AYPY), Papua New Guinea heading to Papeete, Tahiti (NTAA). As I flew over the Fuji islands I noticed large lines in the ocean surrounding one of the Fiji islands below. I wanted to take a closer look to determine if what I was seeing was caused by FS9 or my graphic card settings, drivers etc.
I saved my flight and flew out of Nadi Intl. (NFFN) on the largest of the Fiji islands, Viti Levu in a smaller aircraft heading NNE. The images below show the abnormalty, a water depression about 50 miles north of that island and surrounding Vanua Levu, the second largest island of the Fiji archipelago..
Notice in this panel shot a wall of water is in front of me while I am at an altitude of less than 100 feet. As I fly straight into the wall of water my altimeter reading remains the same and then I am on top of the wall of water suddenly. While these water abnormalties are quite visible the altitude remains the same over the water in these areas.
