Hi guys,I just turned to FS2K4...I cannot see reflections on the water, can anyone help me with this.???GEFORCE 4 420 MXThanksDaniel

Verify the following settings in:Options->Settings->DisplayTerrain detail should be: Land OnlyWater Effects: High

Thanks, I'll check that but I remember to have tried all the settings and never saw reflections on the water. What I do have are reflections on the aircraft!!!.ThanksDaniel Halpern FFX/SGA

I've heard that any Geforce MX card cannot display reflections! Whether its Geforce 2 MX or Geforce 4 MX

That is correct. The reflections on the water use bumpmapping, a DirectX 8-class feature. The Geforce2 and the Geforce4 MX both only support up to the DirectX7 feature-set. They are DirectX8/9 compatible but they do not support the full feature set of the newer versions which means that in DirectX8 or 9 games you are likely to miss out on some special effects..To see the reflections, you need a Geforce3, Geforce4 Ti or GeforceFX, or an ATI Radeon 8500 or later.

I have an ATI Radeon 7200 and have been searching for a definitive answer as to why I don't get the sun reflecting on the surface of the water.I searched at the ATI site and also e-mailed them but all to no avail.Thanks,Robert

Thanks man....The card I'll be buying the next couple of weeks will likely be the GeForce FX 5200 128mb.So I just wanted to make sure you'll get water reflections and all that nice stuff!! that I can't get with my actual Ge Force4 MX 420...is all this true???ThanksDaniel Halpern FFX/SGA
