I'm starting this thread in the hopes that "flaws" found in the elevation terrain can be fixed in the official terrain data. If these issues should be posted as bug reports, then mods please delete this thread.
Issue #1: there is an elevation step in the equator, very noticeable at the 0º/0º point, but also in other places. Just checked tileedit and here are the elevations being reported there at the highest resolution on the point 0º/0º:
-0.39 || +0.50
-------------- (equator)
+0.01 || -0.48
Issue #2: elevation step visible in tile 11/000039/000071, and present up to level 15.
Issue #3: several "pillars" are visible around Madeira Island. tileedit shows some clearly abnormal "dots" with extreme elevation in tiles:
15/000651/001852 (x=34, Y=115)
15/000651/001851 (x=230, Y=54), (x=246, Y=81), (x=250, Y=84)
15/000650/001852 (x=54, Y=27)
15/000650/001856 (x=36, Y=184), (x=47, Y=205)
15/000651/001856 (x=247, Y=53)
15/000651/001857 (x=108, Y=163)
15/000651/001858 (x=28, Y=99), (x=31, Y=94)
15/000652/001855 (x=112, Y=167)
15/000652/001854 (x=82, Y=120), (x=157, Y=128)
15/000653/001859 (x=228, Y=126), (x=233, Y=131)
15/000653/001860 (x=33, Y=214)
I don't know how hard it would be to create a program for this, but some other instances of these "pillars" could be caught by checking the terrain data for extreme elevations or extreme elevation changes.
