It would look so much better with Water effects set to "Med 2.0" or "High 2.0". Then the blueness is toned down and you get beautiful reflections.Hello Christian,Thanks for the comments in the Screen Shot Forum. I reset the water settings but the water is still pretty blue. Although it's a lot better than the default water.Another issue is the airport ramps are all grayed out? Maybe it's one of my settings are not set right?Otherwise, Beta7 seems to be working fine on my machine with Service 1 and FSX SP1.It would be cool if you could remove the default airports and just see the TP tiles. Or maybe just keep a couple of them. VFR flying takes on a whole new meaning with this program.Thanks again,http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/183469.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/183470.jpg

Some of the water "handling" is fantastic. The blending is just quite realistic in many cases. A flight this morning from Panama City to Pensacola was stunning. Even the more "inland" water has a good brown effect.Here is a couple of shots ... in Florida: Navarre, Gulf Breeze and Panama City.

That's just how the default airports are. Pretty bland and boring. And they hide the lovely satellite terrain.In your case, I would suggest playing with the water_rgb settings, as your graphics card apparently doesn

Lovely indeed. Try flying in Faro, Portugal. The land/water transitions in the marshlands look very excellent.

Thanks and where do you find the water color adjustments?

water_rgb in the INI file

Thanks Christian that made a BIG difference. I like it a lot more now.Ed
