Water still sucks in P3D V3.3.5

Featured Replies

   I still have some animation even when flying at 25000'. The water doesn't move very fast, but it does indeed move. As was mentioned above, the motion will become more visible with the changing sun direction.

    I don't think you can put the blame on P3Dv3.3.5. I have the same platform, and my results are similar to the first two screenshots above. Trying to find the problem in your system is not solved by ju

    I can see water animation at very low level in P3D v3.3.5, but it stops very quickly as I rise above the ground. That's why I am currently using the default P3D water, because the texturing is more su

  • I agree.. now I am trying to recover from what REX has installed.   BTW the water animation works when we are very low.. I am talking water animation at 6000 feet or so.. You know sometimes when you

With Sun it does move... without the sun,...is the issue

Astonishing. My water textures are static at 2500 feet, and that includes those areas that are in sunlight.

I have a copy of the clean install of P3D V3.3.5 saved in another HD... I save it for such purpose..to recover any original files.

 

Clever

Anybody knows how to get rid of the wave breakers which now appear on any shores including lakes etc. ? Thanks...

Hi,

 

looke here http://www.avsim.com/topic/490334-how-do-i-remove-these-shoreline-waves/page-2

 

#20. It doesn't remove wave brekaers completely but makes them much less nasty.

 

Kind regards, Michael

Some Recent v3.3.5 YouTube Videos...By the way water does not look as good as FSX no matter what you try...substance vs visuals...

 

 

 

BTW I get wave animation at any altitude!

Thank you Michael.

 

I saw that post and also tried what LM recommends i.e. scratching the wavecontrollers and lakewavecontrollers from the terrain.cfg. I still had these unconvincing breakers !

 

But I think I understand why now... After looking again I saw that OrbX adds its own  controllers some for Global and some for regions. Commenting them out right now !

I would like to see those waves removed in P3D v3.4

The best water for any P3D release, is still v2.4.  I know...I fly it all the time  :hi:

Have to agree, I am not very happy with the water.  Hopefully, it gets improved in future updates.

I've had very good success with Rex4 TD build .0622 water and waves in P3D V3.3.5.  In fact, they look better in P3D than FSX using the same Rex settings.  I just flew a flight from KMIA (LatinVFR 3.1) to KSFO (FB) and the water and wave animation at both departure and arrival were very nice, similar to the better images posted above.  

 

Unfortunately, I failed to take any screen shots, not knowing I would be posting here.

 

Here are my REX4 TD+SC settings for P3D:

I have a mediocre system and these settings work well for me.  YMMV.

May I ask, which water/waves textures do you use, Glenn?
