July 2, 200916 yr Just installed the latest version of Howard's Mix -Looks great but I really do not care for the water which is still quite brown (lakes etc. that should be some shade of blue).Just wondering what others who feel the same way are using to improve the water.Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
July 3, 200916 yr It's interesting that the lake water in Alaska looks pretty good, but in Texas its a little too brown. Not a lot, but enough to be a little annoying. I have FSScene, but I've never been very impressed with the water textures. This seems to be a tough nut to crack. I've always felt like water textures are the weak spot in FS9.
July 3, 200916 yr I don't like Howards Mix, use some other things instead.Try this, it's a perfect combination:Clouds: FS ElementalWater: FS ElementalSky Textures: Flight Environment, GE ProGround textures ( GLOBAL ): GE Pro My Specification: I CAN RUN FSX IN MAX SETTINGS....i don't care about dell, bell, amd, intel, 60000 wats power supply or alien made graphic card....
July 3, 200916 yr Hi,I to do not like the inland water in Howard's Mix and have replaced it with aawater2.zip. For the rest I adore Howard's Mix and I wish them well, they are bringing us wonderful FREEWARE.

July 3, 200916 yr I am still hoping and waiting and waiting and waiting for REX water textures to be issued for FS9. Tristan Living in the beautiful Chilterns. FS System: intel e8600 core 2 duo cpu, asus p5q deluxe motherboard, 4gb ddr2 1066 corsair memory thermaltake 750w power supply, palit 9800gtx+ 512mb graphics card, 750gb sata2 hard drive, 500gb sata2 hard drive, coolermaster v8 cpu cooler, antec 900 case, xp pro 32 bit, creative xfi titanium sound card, 22x dvd/rw. Still sticking and rocking with FS9.

July 3, 200916 yr DavidI use aquarama availabel here: www.planesimulation.com/fsdownloads4/FS4u1x11.htmIts pretty good from the sky or from a runway, but a little blurry and undefined if your sailing on it.Im still looking for a good one.John
July 3, 200916 yr I forgot to add on previous post, that there are a lot of things I like about Howards Mix, but outside of the water there was one that really got me.I fly out of Salt Lake City, and sitting at C13 looking at the mountains was very disturbing for a clear day. It looked like I was in a bad dust storm or fog,and looking South straight in towarde the terminal from C13 there were ground hugging clouds that looked like cumulas type clouds. Salt Lake gets some low hanging clouds but not that low. For the Salt Lake area, I pretty much stick to the landclass files by fsgenesis.John

Both are good, but personal preferences will prevail.Give them a try.Don
