@Tim: Du you has read this question? What are you think about it?

It isn't commonly asked for. We spent a lot of time tweaking the river inclusion when we generate our scenery, and try to only include those that are visible from the air, but sometimes a country's river classification system makes that difficult because the same classification is used for rivers that can, and cannot, be seen from the air.

A general switch to turn all rivers on and off isn't something we would want to do, because this is not a problem 99% of the time. This tends to be a local issue, so is it Germany you're mainly thinking of?

Hi Tim Smile

Here a screenshot:
Question: As you can see, the map is full of small creeks/rivers. Almost all or even all of them cannot be seen from the air, which is why their representation is useless for VFR flights and clutter the map.
I would like to have a option to turn the rivers on or off. What do you think about it?
