Move 'Coastline' Region to top of [REGIONS]

[trevorhannant]

Summary of issue/change

The 'Coastline' Region is overwriting some airport regions due to it's placement in the REGIONS section of the file. As it covers a large area as a background, it should be loaded first before airfield specific regions so that these are layered on top of this.

Reference (amendment doc/official source/forum) incl. page number(s)

None

Affected areas of the sector file (if known)

Misc/Regions_Park Air MAN.txt Unknown others

I think this cannot be completed directly here, we need to change the compiling tools to enable this

When would you want both the coastline region and SMR regions on at the same time @trevorhannant ?

[hazzas-99]

@cpawley - I think this could be achieved by changing the sctgen_master like so...

[REGIONS] Airports*\SMR\Regions.txt;sort=[A-Z]{4}=0 Misc\RegionsPark Air MAN.txt Misc\Regions*.txt;remove=Regions_Park Air MAN.txt

[trevorhannant]

Haven't checked to see if every airport is/isn't affected by this but there potentially could be coastal airports that are (now in future) so having Coastline above the airport regions would make more sense.

Additionally, from a standards/best practice perspective, wouldn't you want to go Wide Area -> Medium Area -> Local Area anyway?

[cpawley]

@pierr3 actually made a decluttering plugin which could be made to turn off the region of coastline at a certain zoom setting?

[trevorhannant]

What was the Coastline region originally used for, just to shade the land area when it's enabled?

If so, would the de-cluttering then make this and Issue #542 something that could be worked through?

[pierr3]

@cpawley Yes, it doesn't work.

Test Build 19655ef with the change to regions for testing.
