FlyTampa St Maarten in V5 HF1?

Since the water (nVidia Waveworks 2.0) looks as good to me  in P3d5 as it does in most recent high end PC games, there might be something that you have installed that is creating a conflict.

That’s a possibility, but it looked awful with the completely vanilla install, with no addons. The one caveat is that I only flew in the Caribbean, so I can’t say if maybe the water looked great elsewhere.

Hey,

Can you (and hopefully a few more people) please post a picture of what your water looks like in the Caribbean? I had v5 before HF1 and it just looked comical, so I went back to 4.5 for the time being.

I would really, really appreciate it. Thanks!

Here you are 😉

Sorry, not flying right now, but here is one from my approach to Mustique.

Don't know why these screenshots look blurry, my screen is at 2560 x 1440

Your AG is missing. If you want to add the AG to Grenadines, visit the FlyTampa forums to find out more.

Okay, now I’m 100% convinced there was something wrong with either my install or my settings. I wonder what it was. I’ll try and post screenshots of what I was seeing.

Don't sweat it all the water color is off anyway. Just check out some videos of TNCM airport and you will see what I mean.

Well, there's color being off and then there's this:

It's just grainy and awful. There's some sort of texture to the water beneath, but it's under a glassy top. It literally looks like flight sim from the 90's.

Enable true sky and put the water slider on ultra. vRAM will go up, but this is just for testing.

I actually uninstalled it. I'm sure TrueSky (assuming you mean "advanced atmospherics) was not enabled here. I doubt the water was ultra. My VRAM usage was fine with settings pretty near maxed.
 

I did have device hung error once or twice and a CTD from the ATC window. Maybe now that the hotfix is out I should give it another go. The other "problem", as it were, is that my v4.5 setup is just gorgeous and smooth as can be. So I'm having some difficulty convincing myself to spend my time messing around with v5 rather than just enjoying v4.5.
