X-Plane 11 Coming November!

John's Triton Ocean project, may finally be possible in XP11. Thanks for sharing.

Water looks just like P3D wave action - actually the entire water environment looks like P3D hehe

It look more like waveworks:

Was this ever implemented?

[strider1 575]

Was this ever implemented?

 

Yes in the Unreal Engine. I am not sure what games are using it.

Was this ever implemented?

 

Yes, in War Thunder I think.

Ben obviously works on the water in XP 11:

So let's see what (and when) it will come.

The one in War Thunder is not even comparable to that tech demo. It might share some things but it's not such a detailed simulation

That new X-Plane 11 water is looking great.  Hope it makes the initial release.

I think so too! The water looks indeed quite good. It certainly still needs some tweaking, but i am confident that in the end it will be looking very convincing! Not sure though that it will make it into 11.0. Try to see that positively though: Better release it a little later and make it good, than releasing it to early and make it bad.

:wink:

I still want to know how that water will work with boat models. The place I live and mostly fly around with sims is the Pacific Northwest, which has some available scenery with cruise ships, ferries, sailboats, and big container ships that make the environment seem alive and lived-in. It's the water equivalent of moving cars on the highways.

 

Unless this new water model automatically floats those models vertically along with the wave action, I wouldn't use it in preference to flat water that could still use those ship models. Maybe there will be a check box to enable or disable the new wave action, until interaction with boat models is worked out.

P3D uses Triton, that's why.

[ryanbatc 12,932]

Oh, XP is using Triton as well?

[WarpD 824]

I dunno... I don't think Triton's that great... too easy to see a repetitive pattern in the water in my opinion.

 

It's going to be interesting to see what XP11 offers, that's for certain.

It's not using Triton, its Laminars own creation
