Turn off 3d, need 2d

The black lines in this image should be straight. It appears the lines are following a 3d model of the ground. Is there a way to convert this to 2d so that the lines are straight?
Thank you!

You will work in an "almost flat" environment.

Another way to turn the elevation off is to disable all your sources of Terrain :

Found this under 'Environmental Effects'.

Thanks a million!
