Shorelines not showing up

I know I am missing something here...

I am adding a shoreline between a waterpoly and a land poly, but no shoreline appears in FSX. I draw the line then assign the properties of the line as "Shoreline Tan Sand Surf"

I have a feeling that the method for adding shorelines is different from Ground2K. Also, which side of the line will have the surf?

Hy, Hefy Jefy

Try: Shorelines Generic Ocean, please.

OK Luis,

That fixed it, also matches the existing shoreline and the waves are on the right side!

Is this magic? or are there not many different shorelines in FSX?

Many thanks,

Geoff

Oi, hefy

Seems to be a bug.

This hint was given by Luis Féliz-Tirado.

FS X only has 6 types of shorelines:

- Shorelines Default
- Shorelines Generic Bay Harbor
- Shorelines Generic Lake
- Shorelines Generic River
- Shorelines Generic Ocean (with wave effect)
- Shorelines Generic Canal Channel


They all display either the tan sand or the tan rock texture, and only the ocean shoreline has a wave effect.

If you have installed the <b>FSX_modified_terrain_cfg.zip</b> file (available in the Avsim library), then you can also draw any of the old FS 9 shorelines, with their much greater variety.

However, shorelines in FS X, whether the default or the FS 9 beaches, will always display a fixed width, as defined in the terrain.cfg file.

For more information using SBuilder for Flight Simulator X, please see:

Best regards.
