Watermask-Shorelines

[approachingmax]

I can’t see any tropical shorelines and watermasks in FS 2020. Looks…not real. Is there a worldmap update planed?

Yes they are coming. But the Devs have to do it by hand
The AI can’t do it alone.
Expect World Updates about every 3 month.

This thread can at least point you to a few places where this has been implemented …

Water Masking.. It's just so Beautiful!

Why is that? “Water masking” or “masking” in general refers to blocking out information that is present in an image but that is not shown. It’s called that way in Photoshop when you mask a layer, it called like that in movies when the top and bottom parts of a Super 35 frame are masked to hide mic booms and such, and it still applies here because the texture information of shallow water is available but masked out/invisible in certain areas.

Hopefully not only the topspots in this world will have coralwater. I miss it all over the mediteran sea in europe and the rest of the world.

Hi there,
I am closing this issue, because Asobo released a large portion of water masks in World Update 3, many of which are in tropical areas advertised in the Oceania trailer.
If you have specific areas where you would like to see, you may wish to create new Wishlist topics for those specific areas, and tag them with #water-mask plus the area of the world where you would like to see them (e.g. for the Mediterranean, #europe, or for the Caribbean, #caribbean .)
