The water in various lakes and rivers is rendering an ugly greenish brown instead of the correct color.  Sometimes part of a lake will be discolored and the rest OK.

 

I have recompiled the Shader indices to no effect.  HDR On or Off makes no diference.  None of the Water settings has any effect, or the time of day or season.

 

I have had this problem from the beginning with v2.0 and I had hoped that one of the updates would fix it but they have not.

 

I don't know how to post screenshots but will do so if someone can instruct me.  I tried to cut and paste from my Pictures folder but the paste didn't work.

 

Running Win64 with i5-2500K @3.5 GHz, 12 GB RAM, GTX 760, 2GB  w latest drivers.

 

I will appreciate any suggestions because this sure spoils low altitude VFR flying in lake regions.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Warren

Hi Warren, sounds like a landclass problem. Some inland water is meant to be greenish-brown.

 

Post your images to Photobucket or similar service and insert the link into the text or use the image icon in the editor to embed the image.

Warren what do you expect the correct colour to be?

 

Years ago the complaint was that sea and inland waters were the same colour.

I expect the colors to be more or less the same in adjacent lakes.  The problem is that, randomly, some lakes are blue and other lakes a mile or less away look like pea soup. This occurs, among other places, in Central Florida where small to medium size lakes are common and none of them are greenish brown.

 

I think Sascha might be correct in calling it a landclass problem.  If so, LM needs to tweak it because some of the worst offenders are right in their own back yard-just South of Orlando.

I know what ya mean Warren. I'm hoping LM fixes water texture quality in a future update.

Sorry for the delay; computer problems.

 

This shot shows how two side-by-side lakes can render in entirely different colors.

 

The view is just North of KMCO heading toward downtown Orlando.

The image didn't come through.  I'll post it again later.
