Title: Is there a trick to rendering the water in AHIII?
Post by: SFRT - Frenchy on September 07, 2016, 03:06:15 PM
Is it how the water is supposed to look like? I see some type of texturing when I'm a few hundred feet above it. Higher than that, I don't have a visual clue if I'm 2,000ft or 10,000ft up ... which in a dogfight over sea ... I spend more time looking at my altimeter than the bad guy. :joystick: Is there a proper setting or for now this is what we have? :azn:
Is there any depth to the water or is just a hard surface like it was in AH2?
AKAK when flying around 2 to 4K it is like a solid blue pool table cover. If you should happen to go nose down it is like trying to catch a fly ball with no clouds in the sky.
Nothing on the surface until to late. You have to rely on instruments and by the time you see your alt it is to late until you get about 400ft and notice texture. Then splash.
It is just solid blue. No depth perception.

Anyone remember this post? Perhaps new water is on the way.

If you go near the edge of a large body of water in a GV you will see waves coming in. Just like in that video. I have all settings turned all the way up. If you go out for a ride in a PT Boat, you will experience those waves. I get seasick if I am out there very long. Very real indeed.
:salute

SFMA has no water texture other than pigment. No waves at all.
