Have you tried turning off detailed water and turn on Bump Map terrain?

When is AH going to improve the water texture again?

Slight fix on that first sentence.

To be fair.. there is one map...not sure which one but the water is pretty hard to judge ....it is very dark and one tone thus doesn't give much visual feed back.

<snip>but man what i wouldn't give for a little stronger texture.. so i could know my alt and attitude without reading my instruments..<snip>

Send a check to HiTech Creations specifically for that upgrade. HiTech would $100,000 cover it?

let me repeat the number 1 reason.. stay with me here now topguns... deeeeepth perceeeeption... it throws off the game.. i came over from warbirds which is a lower spec game graphics wise than aces high but at least the water had texture so you could judge ur alt!!

Get your eyes checked then... either that or develop a smidge of situational awareness...

I agree with craz, visual depth perception is very hard with detailed water turned on until right up close.

Having the gamma turned up like that also lightens the water.. so you wont see it clearly. . Turn down the gamma and you will see the water better.. also using the controls on your montitor yo can make corrections to help yourself out. I had the same preteen blem but I adjusted the colors on my monitor and it helped a lot.

I understand that this question has been asked one million, eight hundred and sixty five thousand, six hundred and thirty two times.. However I assume that the player asking the question this time is not familiar with the Aces High community and it's hordes of subscribers still trying to game on their Commodore 64's so you might want to ease off him a little.

I thought it was improved.   :headscratch:  At least it's a lot better than what came before.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

It is improved. The previous model was unplayable. You really couldn't tell if you were 1k or 100 yards alt by looking at sea level.

I have to agree with tonyjoey and craz, i have difficulty with depth perception for the water.  I think you guys are being unnecessarily spiteful to craz.

The improved water is a pain when fighting on the deck, I love how it looks but if you actually knife on the deck its a big a threat as any of the a/c trying to shoot you. You cats need to stop with your BS on the OP. Sure BnZin from 10K the water isint a real big threat but at 50ft. with 3 plus a/c trying to get you its a serious hazard. Now I know we aren't goin to see a change but I see this as no reason to bust someone for asking about it. You want to retain players yet at like turds when some one asks for a update to keep a good reference with the water. Silly.

I've noticed that too. Forget the map name, but whenever I'm over the water on that map I always keep 1 eye on my altimeter. When it gets to 3,000ft I stop my dive and pull up since I just can't tell where the water is. It's a good idea to get low on that map when you're begin attacked since it's near impossible to see planes (especially Carrier planes) against the water.
