My old card apparently doesn't support it...Also, what settings must be on for it to work?thanks,Andrew

FS9 uses the DirectX 8 API for it's graphics. You must have a DirectX 8 video card to see the water reflections. On the Display settings page, the "Water Effects" slider must be set on "High".Cheers,Greg

"to see the water reflections. On the Display settings page, the "Water Effects" slider must be set on "High"."I get water reflections when the water effects slider is at the low setting, moving it to high adds the FS9 style water animation.Kurt M

"I get water reflections when the water effects slider is at the low setting, moving it to high adds the FS9 style water animation."Yep, you're right Kurt. I was thinking about the water animation when I made my first post.Thanks,Greg

Thanks guys.It's funny - I'm using an old card.. really old, like 6 years - I'm sure it doesn't support DX9, but I've got the latest drivers and it's working fine. Not necessarily running everything FS9 has to offer, but it's working. Although I am running out of video memory relatively quickly. (32)Better than with my DX7 drivers, that's for sure.CheersAndrew

There's more to it than just updating DirectX. Older cards don't support all the functions in the version of DirectX - 8 onwards, I think - that enables these water textures. Thus if you have a GeForce 2, for example, forget it. You can set your sliders, but you'll see them jump back to the left automatically!Mark "Dark Moment" Beaumonthttp://www.swiremariners.com/newlogo.jpg

"Older cards don't support all the functions in the version of DirectX"Right - I'm just saying it's nice to at least be able to keep my card "in the game" while I wait to upgrade!CheersAndrew
