Description
This mod applies exclusion polygons to areas covered in water in order to uncover them. It also removes erroneously placed trees around water areas. No scenery objects were added.
This mod fixes the following issues to the default scenery located in San Francisco County, California, USA. I do not use other freeware or payware in the area, so I don't know if this conflicts with other third party mods.

I have to compile all of the Water fixes again using the newest SDK in order for them to work. It will me take some time to redo them all.

Thank you. To confirm, WU13 addressed the issues with the waterfixes right? I can't wait for you to do the Bay Area (eg. San Francisco, San Mateo, Monterey, etc.) :-) Let me know if there's anything I can do to help.

Yes, to confirm that the update fixed the functionality (or lack of). However, I still have to redo the Water Fixes under the latest SDK in order to get them to work again, by compiling the files again. Simply using the old Water Fix files won't work under the latest update.
I've recently had a hard drive failure so I lost ALL of my work from a period of time from 2022. I'm having to rebuild some of the Water Fix files using backup copies of older versions. I'm starting my way up from SoCal - OC first, then SD, LA, and up the coast.

Is there any chance you could do this fix for Atlantic City down through Ocean City NJ? That area has tons of problems with missing roads, islands and objects. The water masking is hiding allot in that area.

Thanks for all these fixes. Just one question. Do your mods fit with BIJANs- PROJECT: ISLANDS, SUNKEN BOATS, HUTS, PG TREES?

I do not own that scenery. As I understand he is constantly updating areas to add boats, docks, etc.
My mod only removes water.
Worst case, the object that he adds might be on top of an area that I uncovered (removed water from). If that's the case, you can remove my mod.

Worldwide Water Fix (WIP)
This add-on is a work-in-progress project for MSFS 2024 focusing on correcting water elevation issues encountered globally. The developer addresses problems as they are discovered during flights rather than systematically reviewing every location. Users can expect ongoing updates to enhance water accuracy throughout the simulators lifespan.

Did the release of World Update 13 (Oceana and Antartica) resolve the water exclusions issue?
