Hello

I am running REX 2 and this has improved the look of my water alot. What I cant seem to get is the nice looking white caps that so many people seem to show in there screen shots. I have FSX running Shader 2 and have tried each of the settings. Cant figure it out.



Any help would be appreciated


Glenn

Check out http://www.strikingsoftware.com Several freeware items there and I think their 'SHD wave height' items may have helped me.

Good find, Dave thumbup1.gif

From their website, it appears that "whitecaps" control will be in FSWC+. DX10 preview mode only though:

FSWC+
Horizon reflection intensity
Vertical reflection intensity
Horizon/vertical reflection interpolation curve
Texture colour saturation
Texture colour brightness
Diffuse shading dynamic responce*
Reflection distortion
Wave animation scale
Wave animation speed
Wave animation height
Whitecap intensity**
Whitecap probability**

Sun specular reflection intensity
Moon specular reflection intensity
Specular reflection focus
Specular reflection gain
Specular reflection blend
Moon diffuse glow intensity

* DX9 only ** DX10 only

We still have to paint in bow wakes and manipulate the ocean to suit and with the FSX as a base i would think this area could not be to far away , old days was the cloud . Thanx for the search Dave , installing now .
