    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.

    Obviously this will be one of the items fixed by the next sim update (of which there will be monthly).

    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.

    Horrible! I'm uninstalling right now and asking for my money back. You would never see this in FS9, ever! And X-plane and P3D never, ever, ever had errors. MS your killing me.
    Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken.

    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.
