Thank you for your amazing work. I had been enjoying your Oakland - Alameda, San Francisco, San Mateo, and Marin- Sonoma - Napa water fixes until SU12 broke them all and was watching the MSFS forums for news of a fix. I was disappointed that the MSFS developers have declared this issue fixed as of WU13 because all the docks and boats that were rendered beautifully above water by your mods are still underwater on my system. Here is a link to 3 screencaps just north of KOAK in windowed mode so the MSFS version shows. These caps show the water fix still not working with WU13 installed but before the Oceana was installed in Content Manager, just after Oceana was installed, and after Oceana was installed and MSFS was restarted: https://photos.app.goo.gl/w5Sf2WMWuk5nVQYC7

A fix is on the way, I have to re-compile EVERYTHING under the latest SDK in order to get the water exclusions working again under WU XIII.

Any chance you'd be able to combine these into some sort of "Bay Area water fix" pack?

For what purpose? They would all be installed into the community folder anyway.
When I start on an area, I never know how grand of a project I might embark upon. So I only do a county at a time.
I'm from SoCal, and I don't even know where the line stops from SoCal, to NorCal, to Central, to Bay Area, etc! I prefer to stick to official county lines.
