There are 2 new files which appear to enhance and improve the appearance of water in rivers, lakes and oceans. Has anyone installed these? Any opinions on which one might be more realistic?Thanks!Airbus

I have been extremely pleased with Aquarama. It supersedes all my previous alternate water texture installations.John

Again...same here.Aquarama is better than anything I have tried before including the water texture component of Flight Environment.It's very much a matter of personal taste but if you shoot some screenshots and then compare with some similar realworld pics from say airliners.net,there is a remarkable fidelity.Recommended.Kevin

I do most of my flying in the Caribbean, and I thought Aquarama was a little too dark for that part of the world, and is perhaps more suited to more northerly (or southerly) latitudes.I have tried all the freeware water textures I can find, and I keep on coming back to Peter Wilding's most recent freeware texture set (available here on AVSIM), which I think particularly well suited to the tropics.But I've never flown in any of these places, so I can't say anything about realism.Martin

I use the water from Bill Lyons' Golden Wings 3, with most of the wave textures removed as per his optional instructions. They're far better than any other water I've tried. I tested Perfect Water, but it was much too bright blue for my taste.I haven't tried Aquarama, but the screenshots certainly don't look anywhere near as good as GW3 to me.

I use a modified version of Bill Lyons water called Water Zone.I have it on my site here:http://www.ascendant-online.net/en/downloa...hp#enhancementsI like it because its reasonably good for both VFR and high altitude. Most the others I have tried have issues at altitude with repeating textures and effects.I have yet to try Aquarama, that is actually the next test I am performing. From what I have seen I too am worried about some areas not looking quite right in the tropics, Australia and Africa, but we will see after the test.CheersShad

I shot these two,online with ASV9 off the coast of Ireland, a couple of nights ago and I have to say that in 4 years of FS I have never seen water rendered so accuratly.http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b272/ion.../CopyofJOY2.jpghttp://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b272/ion.../CopyofJOY1.jpgIf anything,the screenshots that come with the zip don't do the contents justicekevinps:just picked up F1View from your site Shad.Cheers!

Glad you found it :) I agree the water looks great.I noticed that if you download FS camera from my site (the link above f1 view) and then the head shaker gage (the link below it hehe) you have pretty much reproduced Active Camera. This was entirely unintentional but hey, it works! :)Cheersshad
