March 25, 201412 yr I recently said goodbye to FSX and got P3D Academic version, but I am having major issues with water in P3D and nothing I try seems to fix it. Bascially the water looks awful, it has no animation, no visible normal map. It just looks like a water texture that is sliding across a plane. I've tried bumping the water settings to max but it doesn't make a difference, I have also reinstalled P3D several times, but nothing works. I think this problem was triggered when I installed REX4 and applied new water textures, prior to that I remember the water looking good. But wouldn't a reinstall fix whatever REX4 may have messed up? Any help would be appreciated as i'm at a loss for answers and I can't play P3D with the water looking like this
March 25, 201412 yr First of all, you should have a backup with REX4 to get back to your standard textures. Secondly you should have tessellation and water to highest setting for 3D water animation. It works very well with REX4 textures too. Spirit
March 25, 201412 yr Hi there, water detail needs to be at ultra, mesh resolution at 1M and tessellation at least at medium to get waves to work properly. I also use REX4 "Cinematic" textures which look great. Edit: Spirit beat me to it!
