Coast issues

Hello,
I have been playing with LDHD , Croatian Naval Base just south of LDSP Split and tried to add coast.
After adding simple VTP2 layer this is the result.
My question is, since I lost coastline, is it possible to add coastline in sBuilder and if anyone can point me to some tutorial explaining this.
NOTE: This is FS2004.


Cheers

It is quite easy when you know how.

The tutorial on creating an island works ok.

Create a land mask. Your need then to add landclass by clicking on the intersections of the grid LOD 13. Wide around it as it does not always cover. It will only fill your land mask.

To move the coastline use the the reference in the bottom centre of the ADE panel. Dir:EurW/File: 52160

Append VTPL and select HL952160 from Scenery\Eurw which will have the shoreline lines.

Create a exclude over the coastline parts you want to remove. Sometimes the whole section is removed.

Move the coastline to where you want it, using the nodes.
Note: a new line for coastline has to be drawn in a specific direction to ensure the waves are on the water side of the coastline.

Select the parts to be included in the BGL's. You may have to click on the modified coastline to select it.
