New Water
« on: August 01, 2009, 05:20:22 PM »
Who here likes the new water? It messes up everyone's depth perception, and thanks to it, I have been able to get Spit 16s to auger into it, leaving me to deal with those blasted Brewsters that just won't auger!

I do like the way it looks, and this is not meant to be a whine.

it looks like a cheap web page tiled background
if you can't run it with the details set high.

Oh, and without running the details, the
wakes are gone.

I don't read a lot about pilots flying over water, being more interested in the European War, however from what I understand flying over water really does ruin depth perception.

Wasn't worth the price of what we lost.

The ground environment may be less gamey, which may be a disappointment to some people, but I think it looks 10x better from any viewpoint with detailed terrain and bump mapping on.

I'm especially glad the hills are gone, they've always looked really stupid to me.

The hedges are still there, just not as numerous. They still flip your Tiger, if that is what you worried about.

We didn't lose anything, we gained sexy looking water.

I don't why people are having a problem judging distance from the water. I don't see any issue with it.
