NEW! Coastline extractor

Post by roger-wilco-66 » Wed Apr 14, 2010 2:10 pm

Hi group,

over at fsdeveloper I noticed a post where a member offers a little tool that works in combination with another tool (Landserf) and generates coastlines / islands / lakes out of contured DEM data.
He wrote it for SBuilder for FS9, but it also might work with SBuilderX. I tried to test it, but I still fight with getting the DEM Data properly into Landserf (don't know why ASTER uses this rotten 16bit GeoTIFF format...).
If anyone would like to try it, heres the post:

I think if this would work in SBuilderX it would surely save a lot of design time (and mice and crooked index fingers...)!

Cheers,
Mark
