This may be part of the upcoming North Afghanistan map, however I want to report this anyway as it also affects the East Afghanistan map.

In the current DCS release 2.9.13.6818, sector XE in the northeastern part of the Afghanistan terrain exhibits low resolution, checkerboard-like surface textures throughout a substantial part of the mountain area (you may have to zoom the screenshots to 100% to view the issue):

On the mission editor map, the difference in texture resolution can easily be viewed by switching to satellite imagery and zooming in until the map scale indicator shows 600 m or below.

 

Furthermore, creeks rendered as water on mountainsides can become unnaturally "shiny" under certain lighting conditions - even when in the shadow of the mountain - as their surface reflects the sky colors. This may affect all creeks on mountainsides throughout the map:

Also, as already has been reported by others, there seem to be base mesh / altitude issues with rivers throughout sector XE and possibly adjacent sectors.

Apart from the above, the ambience and feel of the terrain is awesome and a joy to fly in. Keeping my fingers crossed that you will bring the quality of the entire mountain area east and northeast of Kabul and Jalalabad right up to the Chinese border up to par, as this area offers spectacular high-altitude mountain terrain truly unique among the available DCS maps.   

Thank you for keeping up the great work!
