I need to get my fishing line and a bass boat right now. Maybe I should put that in the wish list.

I think it looks great. Will the new terrain effect frame rates at all?

Looks very very nice!! With Brewster on the works this is shaping up to be the dream come true update. :)

I just think I have to tinker a bit with my video card to get everything out of it.

Hmmm, very pretty... It played easily enough on my new
and old game machines..

The water laps sweetly on the shore, how serene...
But will the new terrain have an actual effect
on vehicles, etc?  Or, is it just superfluous eye candy?

Now that we have flowing water, will we get maps with rivers,
streams, creeks, swamps, and mud? Some things that the
real world has a'plenty..

Its pretty, and I like it... Not meaning to be a killjoy, but I like
MEAT with my meals, and tread on my tires, so to speak!

I'm hoping so!!

Perhaps there's going to be an option to turn animation off or something if it ends up destroying comp frame rates.

Many of my applications with animations have that option.

I just looked again and saw the scenery is reflecting in the surface. What happens if a plane is flying on the deck?  :eek:

There is no reason to panic.

I'm guessing users will be able to scale the water effects to suit their machine.

I for one, would like to thank HTC for this. It will undoubtedly alleviate/eliminate the "plane becoming invisible against water" problems.

Hopefully this will have a positive impact on the issue of dark colored planes being super hard to see against water/trees that has been brought up.
