I have been using active sky more and more for environment effects, mainly because it integrates with the weather a lot better... but I still think the kind regarding water is Flight Environment

Flight Environment

How about freeware water?

Hi,There are many freeware water textures out there and many of them are good. The siutation is that it is a pain to manually keep switching them around. So in some cases having the loader program helps. I still have FS Water and have added tens of textures to the loader.Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Sales and Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_dev_team.jpg http://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_proud_supporter.jpg

Tooooo many options for FE though. I think its to easy to mix up the wrong combination to get a pretty scary texture. Flight1 Water is always nice though, i like it alot, just not the waves.

Anyone know of any good brown inland water textures. I've tried many, and they are all too blue. I live and fly in Massachusetts/New Hampshire USA.Thanks,Thomas

How about freeware water?>>>>>>>>>>>Vilk's Vater, none better. Used in combination with OceanFX, also freeware, which enables changes of sea state, the resultant effects are as good as any payware, in my view.Sea view, that is!MarkMark "Dark Moment" BeaumontVP Fleet, DC-3 AirwaysTeam Member, MAAM-SIM[a href=http://www.swiremariners.com/cathayhk.html" target="_blank]http://www.paxship.com/maamlogo2.jpg[/a]

I installed Vater already on top of Flight Environment. It looks very good. I downloaded the OceanFX package and wanted to know how to install Vater on top of OceanFX package?Does OceanFX package overwrite Vater?Thanks,

This is a glimpse (Sorry I haven't any better screenshots with focus on the water) Vilks Vater in combination with OxceanFX2, I think it blends and shades very well with the environment, and it is in my opinion better than any other payware:http://home.online.no/~bkmyskja/div/fs/fs3.jpghttp://home.online.no/~bkmyskja/div/fs/fs2.jpgAnyway, good luck with your water-hunting.

How do you install Vater and OceanFX together?1) I have vater installed.2) I installed the OceanFX package but did not make any selections.3) What selections did you make in OceanFX?4) Do you have to replace the vater textures or anything after oceanfx writes its texture files?Many thanks,btw... great screenshots
