Sorry. Uphill. You guessed it ;-)

That's well possible. That artifact is obviously not present in the original
data. It's just that all the stuff like rivers, roads etc. is systematically
shifted by 200 m or so. Quite annoying in narrow canyons. BTW, the Grand
Canyon and otehr US canyons do not suffer from this but, as I said, several
German valleys do.
Unfortunately all the roads/rivers stuff is poorly documented in FS2002
(contrary to some other stuff), and it seems to be hard to correct.
Sincerely, Michael
