• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Hi !

i am currently working on a Vector/LC Project in South Africa with .shp shapefiles.

I have already completed the whole road/rail network + all lakes and rivers

Now i want edit/correct the coastline of South Africa.
Therefor i have a .shp file of the coast

in sbuilder it looks like this after appending (

then i compile it as ocean shoreline

In FSX it looks like this :(

Is there an easy way to tell sbuilder and fsx what should be land and what water without making thousands of handdrawn polys ?

help pls, thanks in advance :)
 
Select your shoreline, right-click and select "Make Poly". Delete the polyline (you should have the original SBX file). Set the polygon to "Hydro_Generic_Ocean_Perennial"

Add extra points so that the polygon extends past the QMid11 boundary, clip to QMid11 and remove those bits outside of the boundary.



Edit. Of course you will need to exclude the default coastline and hydropoly.
