Title: More realistic looking water
Post by: Yeager on February 06, 2009, 09:57:43 AM
I wish we had more realistic looking water.  This would add more and better immersion to the game.

Hey!  at least this way I feel like our ideas are being seriously considered  :aok

HTC must have a psychic working for them. They knew you were going to ask so they granted your wish before you even asked.  :P

It would be cool, if the ability to turn off the animation for the water, for those of us that have dinosaur comps.

Something like this would be cool too with the waves crashing on the beaches:

That may take a few more months or years of work to get crashing waves but hey, it would be nice.

It's already possible to do something like that in games (Il-2 does it). However implementing it in a way that doesn't require a hefty system is another matter entirely.

Heh, mine isn't hefty, yet I can play IL-2 at the Highest Quality I know how to set. Still, the planes just don't feel right.

Well, they're getting closer.  Still don't have the periscope modeled.
