Just one question while I'm downloading the beta mod, besides being able to cut/add underwater details can you raise the land up as well to form better hills or small mountains within visual range of land? Primarily to add something to the anemic islands that are almost flat in some locations.

Once again, congrats!!! I tip my hat to you.
If the island is small (up to 2000 meters) it's near imposible, but I'm working on Scapa Flow now, and trying to make it look less flatter.

Feel free to use it, link on page two of this thread, first post, also you may want to implement CCIP's mod to the locations file, it's cool

So how does this work here? I want the Kiel Canal, the Scapa Flow fix, Helgoland Blight, and has anyone done Rockall? Do I d/l them individually, or is one file being changed and I need to wait for all of these to come out together?

@ CCIP:

Does your location file include the lighthouse mod and the Black Sea Ports? What was the basis? The pictures looked cool, good job.

Hehe, awesome, you actually live there!
I motored through there on a sailboat last year... would it be possible to model the schleusen at either end though... I doubt it, but it would be pretty cool.

You can download it one by one, because the terrain file is 250mb in size I made a program to redistribute only the modified parts, it replaces only the changed parts in the terrain, so the downloads are small and they don't overwrite modifications on other parts of the map.

Kiel Canal:

Download the file, instructions inside, later I'll post Scapa Flow and
Suez Canal

For those who don't like the editing part of the mod, here is my version of the Kiel Canal, Scapa Flow Estern entrance and the Suez canal. Install instructions are inside the zip file.

Feel free to use them as a starting point to make your own versions, the only request is that ant mod you make based on mine or with my software MUST be freely distributed.

I've tried to upload them to u-boot.realsimulation but I couldnt so Terrapin if by any chance you read this please be so kind to do it.

Good job ref

the Helgoland mod will take couple more days, cause i started to modify TerrainTypes as well and used a new texture for Helgoland. In origin Helgoland is a red cliff isle. Needs still some debugging on it.
Thats a first sample.
