Sharp edges where land meets water

Hi everyone,

On most areas of the South Atlantic map (apart from those that are clearly beaches) there's a noticeable sharp incline (75-80°) where land meets water. The incline isn't everywhere and there are some exceptions (namely areas that are clearly beaches, some small rivers etc).

An easy way to check is to look at the mission editor/F10 maps - in SAT, if you can see what looks like a thin, grey border (it will be a darker orange/biege in ALT) where the land meets water, there's an incline there.

Here's an example, immediately to the south of Pebble Island's grass strip:

The main issue with this is it doesn't really look all that natural or realistic - when flying low it almost looks like everywhere is sat on concrete. Though another issue is that player vehicles are unable to climb them (there are of course areas that shouldn't be able to be climbed or landed on, but here it's the overwhelming majority of the land).

Perhaps it would be better if there was some 3D rocks, but making the incline closer to 30° would more than suffice.

With the height of the soil there i doubt you wouldn't be able to climb that location anyways, we have tested AI to the left and that works fine. Try the lower terrain to the left

Yeah, I just edited it to show a location that you definitely can climb (there's plenty of them, but that particular area by San Carlos would be impossible regardless).
