Re: my photo map bgl sometimes does not show up in game.

Thank you for the repply! Resolution is something I haven't considered. I have always found it difficult to use TMFviewer. In the SBX window I am usually at zoom 12, ... about 1 or 2 km on the right hand side of the screen. I am sure this is not what we are talking about concerning LOD, etc. Maybe I...

my photo map bgl sometimes does not show up in game.

sloped shorelines

Is there a tutorial or instructions on how to make nicely sloped shorelines. I have a sandspit at 5 ft. (1.524m) but I would like to have the edges slope downwards to the water. Is there a way to do this? Thank you, Bob
