Water texture becomes land when zoomed in?

I was trying out placing static objects on the flight deck of the Stennis on the Caucasus map and when zooming all the way in I noticed that in sat view the water texture gets replaced by what looks like Persian Gulf sand dune texture. I asked a friend to try it with his DCS install just to try to eliminate my install being the problem and he saw the same thing. Anyone else see that too?

Sure it's not the sea bed? It looks like a brown-ish colour, and the Caucasus map now has one.

Could be I suppose although the other maps don't exhibit the same behaviour. The others show variegated shades of blue representing the different depths when zoomed in. See attached, the transition happens when zooming in from 3000ft resolution to 2000ft. My thought was perhaps the wrong texture was inserted into the collection of textures for Caucasus by mistake and it hasn't been noticed by anyone else yet.

Also apologies I should have mentioned that it was in the open beta branch and after the latest patch.

Thats what you see when your hornet slips off the carrier. You float above this brownisch textures ;)
