I started a game from the site Kapustin Yar in southern Russia, and the terrain is wrong. There is a lot of water around and the Caspian sea is very close to the south. In fact, it should be 360km away.

I think it could be caused by the fact that a large area north of the Caspian sea is below sea level, but not covered by water (the surface of Caspian sea itself is 27 meters below sea level). So the game probably fills all areas below sea level with water. In reality they are covered by grassland/steppes and semi-desert with some small salt lakes.

The issue only happens in flight, but not in map view, where the picture is correct.

Not much that can be done about -ASL terrain. Only thing that could be don is to move that areas terrain up by a bit to get it out of the water. Don't think that it is in any way trivial to add a sea level map just to get a few areas.
