Hi,its the first time i experience this problem and that was after installing SKYWORLD2004 (Although i dont know if the problem related to it)is there anything i can do to restore WATER REFLECTIONS

Hi, fs sky world 2004 do not have water reflection at all included or change this.ThanksChris Willis[link:fsw.simflight.com/FSWMenuFsSim.html]Clouds And Addons For MsFs

Hi!I have the same problem. I agree with Chris, that it has nothing to do with FSW2004, because when I restore al textures to default, the water reflections are still missing.When I set the weather to "Clear Sky", the water reflections are perfect, but if there is just one single cloud appearing on the screen, the reflection of the sun disappears from my FS9 oceans and lakes. My graphic card is a ATI Readeon 9800 Pro, all latest drivers are installed (graphic card, chipset drivers,...). The water effects in the FS9 graphics menu are set to "High".Sky clear: Wonderful water reflectionsCloudy sky (even if there are just a few clouds): No reflection at all.Can anybody help me?Kind regards.Martin

Same here,But I' wouldn't call it a problem, since I' have noticed that behaviour from the first time I changed the original water textures with other more realistic.In fact, it is more "real" not to have reflections in the water when clouds are present, and the water colour is altered too.Vassilis

Do you use a ATI or a Nvidia card.Maybe the problem is ATI related. I updated my system from a Geforce 4 4200 to a ATI Radeon Pro 9800 about 2 months ago. Maybe it took me 2 months to recognize that my reflections are gone;-) .

I believe I read about this problem on this very forum a few months ago. I think the solution was to start FS with clear weather (make your default startup flight with clear weather) and that should eliminate the problem.Hope it works! I'll check water reflections myself later today. :)Regards,Jurehttp://www.globecargo.org/images/VAA_Captain.jpg

Hi!I just found out, that the water reflections, are only missing if I use a default weather situation ("Thunderstorms" for example. When I use Active Sky, the reflections are where they belong.So I think I don't consider it a problem anymore.RegardsMartin

If you have a copy of the water textures (which are originally in the scenery/world/texture) in the fs9/texture folder, they can prevent the reflections from showing...
