question concerning rhumbaflappys' watermasks

:help:Have a quick question here re; Rhumbaflappys watermasks. Whenever I have them in by the scenerydb\settings method and I fly in Korea (TR's KWCFS2 McCellands Far East) some areas (including airfields) are underwater. When they (watermasks) are taken out the fields are high and dry!:faint: Are the watermasks global ie; used in Korea as well as ETO?
In addition when I put all the new LODs' in (5,7,8 is there a six?:wave:) , I have lost my shorelines. Any directions in getting them back appreciated:kilroy:.
 
watermasks

I asked Rhumbaflappy about the watermasks in relation to africa.
It seems that any dry land at or below sea level will appear as water;
thus the Quattara depression in the sahara desert shows as water;
likewise parts of the lowland around calais appear as water.

I think that In the watermasking process, some sort of automation was used that simply assigned anything at 0 or below to water.
 
Thanks

Thanks for the responses. Merlin I guess that might be the answer. I just wanted to make sure. It's almost like the tides at Inchon or the bay of Fundy! One time under water the next miles from it!

Rami;
I have it downloaded but not yet read. So much to do so little time! .

Another quick question, does Achims taxiways show up as asphalt/concrete? I have only gray wisps on my screen. Must be missing a texture somewhere
