That still doesn't help very much when you are looking behind you trying to judge your opponent and the water during a nose down turn close to the deck.

I just came out of Florida again today and made sure to give the water a look and take a guess as to my height. 

Even at 10,000 feet I was guessing within a couple hundred feet.
One doesn't need an altimeter unless the water is dead calm and glassy--and I would suspect gross estimates would still be easy.

I am glad it has been fixed.   Wish I had my rig with me to test it out.   :(

The new water looks pretty good. Much more like real world water looks from an airplane.

You are correct. They turned much better in real life. In game feels like the elevator is jammed at 10 degrees.
