Note: Previous Water exclusions have failed to function starting with the release of SU12 (March 2023); this version needs an update to properly function with World Update XIII.
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 Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, USA. If you fly out of KPHL, this is for you.
V1.0 Release notes, fixes the following areas:
- Corrects issue of various roads and bridges appearing underwater throughout.
- Uncovered various docks, ships, and marinas along the Delware River (Pennsylvania and New Jersey sides), as well as smaller points along the Schuylkill River
- Removed trees from ships and cargo along water areas
- Basically everywhere you see RED in the screenshot, I uncovered water or removed vegetation
V1.1 Release Notes:
- Due to the availability of great freeware bridges, this version removes water exclusions from underneath Walt Whitman Bridge, Ben Franklin Bridge, Delair Rail Bridge, Betsy Ross Bridge, Tacony Palmyra Bridge.
V1.2 Release Notes:
- Removed water exclusions from underneath the Girard Point and George C. Platt bridges, due to availability of some awesome freeware bridges by MicheleVP
V1.3 Release Notes:
- Refined some lines to make water exclusions not so aggressive.
- Uncovered more features south in the Delaware River (Marcus Hook)

Absolutely stellar work. Question: Since these files are so tiny, have you ever thought about putting them all in 1 folder for a much simpler download and install?

This would be nice. Just make it a "US Water Fix" file and continuously update it.

Your post led me to discover the other great freeware bridges out there for this area. I've made a new version that now accommodates those bridges.

Thanks for all of your waterfixes, really makes a huge difference to the sim. Much appreciated. Do you have Portland on your to-do list? The river from KPDX all the way into downtown could really use some work. Even if not, thanks again for all you've done!

Yeah Portland is badly in need of new bridges and water fixes.
