May 22, 201016 yr My problem is that the whole of the east side of Ireland's coast line is blocked rather than showing the correct coastline. This problem appears to effect any coastline scenery to the east of Longditude 7.30 West, both to the north and to the south of Ireland and right down the east coast. The west side of Irelands coastline (West of West 7.30 Longditude) is showing correctly from top to bottom.I have tried disableing any add-on scenery that might be effecting this part of Ireland's coast line (FS Global SE, VFR photoreal for England and Wales, and VFR Terrain for England and Wales), however the problem still exists.I have attached 2 screen shots showing first the south of Ireland's coastline where the scenery changes from blocked to correct coastline, then the second image shows the north of the Irish coastline where the coastline changes from blocked to correct coastline. Anyone suggest a solution without dosn't involve re-installing FS2004 from scatch, which I really do want to avoid if possible.Thank You, and your help is appreciated with this problem.

May 24, 201016 yr That looks like faulty land water masks to me.The northern one would be: fs main folder\scenery\Eurw\HP946120.bgland the southern would be: fs main folder\scenery\Eurw\HP946130.bglYou can extract them from the CDs manually - there are instructions somewhere on the forums I think. If you cant find them come back and Ill try and help do more. Best of luck.Daveedit: Just looked on my disks - you'll find want you want on disk 3 in MSGame8.cab.

May 25, 201016 yr Author Thanks for your help once again and I will try replacing the .bgl files that are suspect as you suugest then I will get back to you.RegardsAfter looking up these files in my FS2004 origonal installion I found that these 2 files (along with another 13 or so) had been disabled with the extention added as "BGL.VFRTerrainInstallBackup"This has obviously had something to do with the VFR Terrain software installation process which I also have installed within FS2004.The 2 files you suggest where re-activated by my removing the file extention names and after deleting the .dat file (which is automatically re-made during scenery congiuration) and after re-starting FS2004 I now see a coastline on the east of Ireland ! I am still missing the wave effect that appears as the sea meets the land but this is a vast improvment.While not having verry much knowledge od scenery matter in FS2004, can I ask how you where able to specify the exact .bgl files that are associated with this part of the FS2004 scenery? If there is some master reference that you refer to I would be interested in looking it up if it is freely available.Anyway, I am not sure what the re-activating of these 2 files has done to my VFR Terrain installation but I can't see it as being very much.For your infomation the other files that have been disabled in the same folder (Scenery\EURW\Scenery\) are as follows: 1.HL946130.BGL.VFRTerrainInstallBackup2.HL946140.BGL.VFRTerrainInstallBackup3.HL947120.BGL.VFRTerrainInstallBackup4.HL947130.BGL.VFRTerrainInstallBackup5.HL947140.BGL.VFRTerrainInstallBackup6.HL948120.BGL.VFRTerrainInstallBackup7.HL948130.BGL.VFRTerrainInstallBackup8.HP946140.BGL.VFRTerrainInstallBackup9.HP947120.BGL.VFRTerrainInstallBackup10.HP947130.BGL.VFRTerrainInstallBackup11.HP947140.BGL.VFRTerrainInstallBackup12.HP948120.BGL.VFRTerrainInstallBackup13.HP948130.BGL.VFRTerrainInstallBackupperhaps there names can be identified with some part of the UK scenery? Perhaps one or more of them may restore the costal wave effect?Thanks again for your kind help, I am more than grateful.Regards
May 25, 201016 yr CharlieDownload LWMViewer by Jim Kier here in the library, useful and explains a lot. I found the files on the disks by just looking, but there is post somewhere (here or flightsim - not sure which) with a list of all the disk's files.I think you need to re-enable the HL blah blah .bgl for the corresponding shorelines/waves.Dave
