Post by: Scherf on September 21, 2012, 03:47:08 AM

Is it really too much to ask?

Some land textures have different graphics for above water versus under water. If the terrain creator used a texture to give the coastline or a riverbed some interest, you need to have "detailed water" turned on so it doesn't look like land.

Here's something I put together a while ago to demonstrate what the various setting do to the appearance of the water:

I'm finding that detailed water has less of a frame rate hit than detailed terrain.

You need at least one or the other turned on to see the border where water meets land.

Yes, I had a fair old frame rate hit turning on the detailed water, didn't try the detailed terrain.

My puter is so old that when I clicked on the bumb environment box, I ended up with a wonder-woman transparent plane.

Still, as my concern was a result of some gv outings, I won't need to have it on all the time.

Thanks again.
