Islands water polys "flood" the mainland
Posted: Sun Dec 06, 2015 5:00 pm
Hi everybody,
somehow I'm stuck in creating an island photo scenery with an issue I never had to deal with before...
The photoscenery covers an area with hundreds of islands, and some are not very far away from the mainland. Since FSX expects me to cover the full LOD9 square with custom hydro-polygons, I went the known way of cuting the island polys as holes into a surrounding new LOD9 waterpoly. But when I watch the result in FSX I have to realize that the waterpoly covers the relevant part of the mainland as well (which is, if following the tutorials I have, not supposed to be cut out).
1. How would I avoid this unwanted effect of "flooding" the mainland?
2. Is there a way (with SBX) to cut the holes of some island-polys at once? Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but as soon as I have more polys selected and right-click one (so that I have "ON MANY POLYS2" on top of the menu) the "cut as hole" command isn't available anymore...
Thank you in advance for sharing your experience!
Regards
Mick
