YES , you are right, LFMN is, and was, wrong (probably will be ever wrong) because it was built on the sea. But you understood i was only talking about the coastline near that place. The nice curved shape of the bay which should be here with the little peninsular ground (the name , Antibes , Juan-les-Pins, and two islands Ste Marguerite and St Honoras). Instead of it there is that huge squared ground tile. > > The same goes for treasure island. > > If you want to, you can have a look at the data in the database at > http://mapserver.flightgear.org/ The data used for this build is in the > v0_* layers. > > BTW: We are working on importing current GSHHS data (version 1.5 instead > of 1.3 as currently in the DB), but it's not available as Shapefiles > anymore.

Not only NICE area, because i found on VHHH ( which is an other place i use to fly over it) some (similar ??) bug.
