Hi there,In Fs2002, when hovering just above the water, a water spray effect appears due to rotor down wash.However, in (my) FS9 this effect does not appear at all.Anybody know where this effect is generated or should be generated in FS9 ? Any advice about what could be wrong ?Thanks in advance.Happy hovering.Hans

It is generated and I believe it's in the C:Program FilesMicrosoft GamesFlight Simulator 9Effectstexture, Folder under fx_rotwashThere is also an updated one available on AVSIM Search Filename: rotwash.zipCheers

Thanks for your advice Clarke. I downloaded rotwash.zip and it certainly makes a huge difference but my original problem remains in that the Pacific Ocean has some kind of different water texture so that neither the original nor the rotwash effects become visible there, while above all other oceans they do.I'm searching further.Thanks againHansHolland
