FSEarth Tiles water textures problem

Hello guys!

Some time ago I have decided to re-attempt my tries with setting up a config file for FSEarth Tiles and it worked! Since then, wherever I fly I try to have about 30x30nm airport surrounding nicely covered with photoreal scenery. However, the biggest problem is with the seaside (or lakeside) destinations. If I wanted to cover an island or any seaside area with the photorealistic scenery using FSEarth Tiles I would have water substituted by the picture resulting in this area not being water anymore (I hope you know what I mean). Solution to this is the contour lines around the shore marking the coast and another one marking where the deep water starts. I tried doing these using Google Earth, but whenever I download the tiles and it comes to this part it says something in the lines of 'Area KML Coordinates Error'. I have done some research and I have found that these lines don't work when done in Google Earth 6.0 version. So, I downloaded the older version and installed it over the newer one (I have installed the older one without previously uninstalling 6.0 version I have to admit; in control panel it is shown as the older version 5.2.1.1588 though). I tried doing these lines again but they wouldn't work at all (the same problem as before; nothing has changed). To confirm my problem I have used Elba island Area KML which is originally included in the FSEarth Tiles rar and these work perfectly.

 

I really don't know what I am doing wrong! It is frustrating because it is a very nice tool, but absolutely useless when it comes to water surroundings.

 

Has anyone got any clues what could help? Any help would be highly appreciated.

 

Thanks

 

Dominik

Come on guys! Does nobody have a clue what I am talking about or is it just that you do not know how to help me? Maybe I haven't made it clear enough what I want to achieve?

 

Thanks
