CoastLine Problem

Post by paulganter » Mon Dec 24, 2007 11:12 am

I am trying to create a more realistic coastline,so when I draw a poly on the coasline using google background and give it a LC_TAN_SAND_BEACH property, the beach shows up in fsx, however there is alot of exccess land that extends into the ocean beyond the coastline. Land that should be ocean.
I know this issue has been discussed for FS9. Does the same apply to FSX?
How do I reclaim the ocean?

Regards
Paul

Exclude the original ocean area, then redraw it back in to your liking.

Coastlines don't act as any type of delimiter between the water and land, they're just coastlines. So you're dealing with three seperate items; water, land and coastlines.
