(This issue does not apply to versions 6.10 and later.) Shorelines in the water result from the automatic shoreline placement getting confused when there is a complex pattern of water and land. Things like barrier islands can cause a lot of trouble. X-Plane draws a shoreline and water transition texture in the water tile that’s adjacent to a land tile. When the water/land pattern gets complicated this algorithm breaks down.
