I know there are a lot of outline files for airfields.  I have just downloaded the superb LEMH Mahon in Menorca.  However the coast map is so bad there the airfield is partially in the sea at the wrong part of the island.  Are there any more accurate coastlines that override the default ones in certain areas.

High resolution coastlines for UK, Ireland, Belgium, Netherlands and Northern France are available at http://www.homepages.mcb.net/bones/Kinetic/Kinetic_Utilities.htm

Without them my house is in the sea!!

You can have a go at creating your own coastline outlines using http://www.acme.com/jef/outlines/

Thank's for that.  I will get out of newbie mode soon hopefully.
So the outline files are compatible with the SBS ones?  There are quite a few files on Bones's site.  For example frequency files for SBS-1.  Can these work in RB as well?

SBS-1 outlines will work, but waypoints won't.

How do I remove the old outline.  I tried taking out United Kingdon.ml3 and also switching to another map.  But still see the old outline along with the nice detailed one.

Turn off State and/or Country Boundaries on the Map menu.
