Hey folks :)Anyone have a decent waterconstants file? I have Shader 3.0 mod and Bojote's waterconstants file however it causes these huge waves seen in the screenshot. Before this mod, I had shiny sand-like water which I didn't enjoy at all.

Here's mine. I use REX's 'Ethereal' and Shader 3.

Try FS Water Configurator.Cheers,- jahman.

Does FS Water Configurator work with Shader 3 mod now (?), it didn't the last time I looked, and that was some time ago I must admit.Answered my question by reference to the FSWC forum:Q: Does it work with Shader 3? A: No. Its a lot of work to make FSWC work with the shader 3 hack for not much visual or performance advantage.I asked a question in this forum recently... 'can I have Shader mod 3 without affecting the water at all, and not one reply forthcoming, (with the exception of a kind PM from a member with some valuable help on adjusting waterconstants.xml and textures, thanks bob).Phil

Thanks Ron.. that one worked nicely.Cheers

Thanks Ron Attwood!!! Been looking for a solution for the shiny water using Bjotes SHADER 3.0.

Hi Ron

 

Sorry to sound ignorant but where do I put this code?

Also, will this work with direct x 10?

 

I've gone to fsxSteam and use DX10.

 

Thanks a lot!

February 2012!   :blink:  You expect me to remember that? I can't remember what I had for breakfast this morning!

Very pretty   :Applause:

So where does that code go Roman?

waterconstants.xml lives in the root FSX folder.
