There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

Hi Dick,Hi all.
I found a very good method for simplifying polygons. http://www.mapshaper.org/notice.html
This is an online simplifier that works extremely well... I can reduce vertices to 15% without appreciable loss of recognizable shapes. There is a 'stand-alone' html/javascript version at the GitHub site, so you don't need to be online to use the routines. It's very quick. I'm using it with the SRTM watermasks to make LWMs. What I need now is a reliable way to convert shapefiles to BLN without using GlobalMapper or SBuilderX.

Guys
This may already be covered ...

BuV: The warning from 956150 was easy to fix: there was a 1 point line in the SBX; amazing that problem didn't occur before.
Still getting same error with 988330 - my build shows 1016 lines, not 1017 lines.
No RR or UT lines.
FS9 is fresh, unmodified install from disks, patched to 9.1 with MS download patch.
... RR or UT lines.....

I took a flight over Wonsan in Korea today and spotted this:
It runs along the junction of two LOD5 cells - 982170 & 982180 - shown below in the original FS9 LWMs
At first I wondered if it was cause by the 'ragged' edge of the original FS9 LWM for 982170 to the north - shown below in LWM Viewer (hopefully you can see the 'thick' line) - and which I hadn't spotted or edited in SBuilder.
I deleted the ragged edge, recreated the SBX file completely and recompiled - but the problem persists. I now see that the issue seems to be with just one part of the cell - Area 656 x 143 in LWM Viewer.
Strange.
Cheers
