New Zealand with World Update 12 looks great, but there a A LOT of small rivers with very ugly and inaccurate river courses / river data.
Ofter just ugly straight fat blue lines.
This mod attempts to fix this. By mainly removing thouse water lines, or, where possible, add more accurate water lines.
I also added fixed some lakes which just had satellite imagery, but no actually water surface.
It's early days for this mod, so far it only covers a small portion of the South Island.
I hope you like it.
Since this is a lot work manual, timeconsuming work, a donation via Paypal Link below is very appreciated.

Awesome addition. But it seems to conflict with Iniscene's NZQN around the Lower Shotover area when looking from a distance. This is with LOD at 150 and disapears once you get closer than abeam the far end of Lake Hayes. https://imgur.com/a/OXxaMwv

Hi! Thanks for the feedback. I don't think it's caused by my mod. My mod is not doing anything in that area. Nothing.
The closest area it does something are high up the mountains around Queenstown, but many miles away and thouse polygons only reduce the amount of trees. Nothing else.
So I think it's not caused by my mod.
These spikes are unfortunatelly a know issue since more than a year. Asobo seems not to care.
The higher your LOD, the earlier they disapear. When you are on LOD 100, they are visible much closer. When you are on LOD 300, they disapear much earlier.
There is nothing I can do with that.
Asobo needs to fix this. But well...
It could be caused by my mod, since my mod does change the terrain in some areas where smaller lakes are, for example some mountain lakes high up in the mountains arround Milford Sound.
The terrain polygons make the surface of a lake flat instead of going uphill ^^
That is what I did which some lakes, but not in that area.
It could still be that this causes these spikes, but from what I can tell, I did nothing wrong, it's just a bug/problem that exists since a very long time and so far, there seems to be no fix.
If anyone has an idea, I'm more than happy to hear about it.

Is there anything you can do at the top of the South Island?
Namely well know French Pass, narrow waterway with extreme tidal race.
With the latest update Durville Island has departed the area North leaving jetties and boats mid ocean.
Thanks for your corrections down South.

Is this compatible with the Orbx NZ Mesh? Regardless, thanks for the time and effort you've put into this project!

I don't know about the Orbx Mesh, I don't have it to test it.
But I assume it works fine, since my mod does not mess with the mesh.
I recommend to just try it :)
My mod is based on World Update 12.

How much of NZ is covered with this river wise?

Hard to say, currently probably 10%, I try to do the most famous areas first.
