This set 001-008 are a multipart zip file. 7-zip will extract them properly if all are in the same folder... just select GSW ShoreLines.zip.001, then choose 'Extract Here' and a "GSW Shorelines"...

You shouldn't need to remove anything. Just deactivate them in the Library.

I reviewed the Regions which contain all the landclass files from CFS2 split into LOD5 areas. By applying regional textures (renamed as ???b2su?.bmp) derived from Flight Simulator World to each...

East is east of 0.0 longitude. West is west of 0.0 longitude. Europe is in both east and west. Some of the pacific is in both east and west.

If you put them all in one folder, the sim sorts it...

You should just deactivate any conflicting addons. The problem would be the VTP shorelines. The watermasks would cover any masking.

I suggest you start a new install for the GSW world. Most of us...

You don't remove the numerical extensions. The zip.001 is the start. Just unzip that and all the others in the series will automatically unzip.

The regions are the same as FSX or P3D.

This is my Addon Folder:

This is my Regions folder:

I've completed the landclasses to match the Global Surface Water sets. I have arranged them into Regions. They are Region_A through Region_Z, and are roughly the same as found in FSX and P3D. Each...

Here's the Google Drive link to the shorelines:

GSW ShoreLines

They are unfiltered and not reworked at all. There are anomalies, they are all 20 meters wide, and they all use the same tropical...

I found a missing watermask for the GlobalSurfaceWater_East set:

GSWCFS2_6316_lwm.bgl

It has been added to the Google Drive download or may be downloaded separately as above.

This is an odd...

Here is a link to the VTP SBX files. They can be loaded into SBuilder9 or SbuilderX for some reworking. (SBuilderX files would need to be converted to SBuilder9 SBX files.)

I'm getting a slight reality check while doing this. The compilation of the VTP BGLs is taking much longer than I assumed. I have a fairly up to date computer, but BGLC, the compiler, is bogging down...

in Addon Scenery, I make a folder named 'GlobalSurfacewater'. Inside GlobalSurfaceWater, I make a folder named 'scenery'. I place all the GSW water lwm files, and all the excludes, and all the GSW...

Possibly!

The data is compiled by comparing 32 years of satellite data:

I used "transitions" data and added the OSM Oceans data to it, to...

My computer has been grinding out some Global Surface Water shorelines. I'm doing the whole earth.

Sander's Cfs2Autocoast has been a champ! The batch file has been processing the earth for about...

I recalled a conversation with Sander in which he was surprised that he had anomaly free success when all lines were 2 points.

This is still the case as far as I can tell. I need to revisit my...

Good news and bad news.

Here's the good news:

2812_vtp_8:

The BLN file is 71.7 MB, the resulting SBX file from SBuilder is 165 MB. The bgs file created by cfs2autocoast is 669 MB! The...

Flattens would still be needed in some Area16n flattens areas. As far as anomalies in the vtp lines, I haven't been able to pre-process the BLN files to eliminate them entirely, and I even managed to...

Slartibartfast, by Jim Keir, is the main program to generate land-water polys I used. It also makes shorelines for FS2004. It can export BLN text files for the shorelines, but they include the...

I think each region would have it's own Scenery Library entry, and all regions could be active at once. No switching needed.

You can have a local texture folder with landclass sceneries, if ALL...

A big Thank You in return Rami! :eagerness:

Hi all.

The default CFS2 VTPs need to be removed or renamed as .orig extension or excluded by bgls.

Here a scenery folder you can use to exclude them without renaming or removing:

Many thanks to Jim Keir and his Slartibartfast and his LWMViewer1.3!

The files correspond to the FS9+ file naming convention. So you should be able to track down specific files. Some creative...

The Global Surface water files are ready for download at my URL.

(Maybe Rami can help get them into the Library. The files are very big.)
