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.

Feature. You are requesting one or more water polygons to be removed. You cannot remove partial polygons.

Re Water
Hello, yes I have the same problem. In fact there are water polygons created by Microsoft. We can not see them as we draw ours in googleErth. The thing is to use the complicated SDK tool to edit the default scenery. But what I do is draw a bigger polygon than the square made by the exclusion, and then tag it with water again...
Dear DougMatthews, do you know how can we change water color or the tag for inland water code, please?
As you can see in my video:

This blue water in south america (French Guiana) dosen't match reallity. In fact it is brown. In the SDK they give color shame 8, 9, so and so. But I don't know where to put this...
Thank you much!

I suggest you use EZ-Landclass by Russel Dirks to change the water color.
I did it for Lake Nicaragua as an experiment and it worked well. The water was too bright blue, so I toned it down some.
EZLandClass
Dear Mace, how were u able to change water with EZ Land class? It is such a hard job, because the lod part is too small and hazardous. When I color a parcell I just have a small point colored in my scenery? Is it the way to do it point by point? I hope I'm mistaking. It's to bad that we can not color the whole hydropolygon

Yes that is how you use EZ-Landclass...you color each small cell point by point.
But a trick to use, is to put in a bunch of cells, and then copy and paste those cells to cover large areas at once.
EZ-Landclass is not the most ideal tool for doing land/waterclass over large huge areas. It is more ideal for small adjustments and so forth. In my opinion of course. But certainly large areas can be done via copy and paste.
I do think that you can also do large areas using resample.exe and a paint program. But that method is not so easy. EZ-Landclass is an easy way to do small areas.

Thank you Mace, I thought I was wrong. Ok I will try to do it that way, my rivers are a bit long...
Also it mix the brown color with the blue default color. So I get a grey which is good for the sea but never get the brown for south america river as it is in a mission of FSX. Thank you much cause it will be better anyway

I am doing the San Juan River in Nicaragua, and I am using "inland river deep" which seems to be a brown color. Sort of brownish-gray color. I think it is accurate for a tropical river. I live next to the Mississippi River and it is muddy brown/slate gray.
