R44 runway blank on 2020.3.2 fresh istall

There appears to be a bug in the R44 helicopter on Flightgear 2020.3.2. The lower half of the screen (on the runway at an airport) is blank, as is the copilot's view. Please see attach screenshots. This is a fresh install of 2020.3.2 using the snap install command on CENTOS 7.

It looks to me like some "tower views" where the tower elevation is too low, i.e. below the ground. Terrain is only visible from one side, so it is transparent from below. That's why you can see the moon which is below the horizon.

No problem for me with R44, it works fine.
You could try in another airport.

Here are 3 things you can try to help us resolve the problem.
1. Changing the view position, (moving it higher with the view menu).
2. Try another airfield, or a different start position with the same airfield.
3. Try another aircraft at the same airfield.
Please report back here with the results of these experiments.
