As we have already observed in another thread this is basically false advertising. Currently these watermasks are not in the game yet.

That is not mentioned.

I mean, it is a trailer. Trailers are usually released before things.

Maybe a disclaimer should have been added that it is a WIP.

I just took off from Moto Mute airport and can confirm that I don't have the masking shown on the trailer.

What is the "masking" referred to.   Sorry to be so uninformed.   Thanks

I was hoping after Palau, where I have friends, they would come north to the Mariana Islands of Guam/Rota/Saipan.   But no joy.

Masking is the technique they use to achieve that nice shade of pale blue for shallow water. If you look at Bing maps it doesn't give a true representation of this shallow water. It has to be edited via a separate process.

Image removed as image is no longer available.

I think, as you’ll see from the threads here, it’s more than “nitpicking”.

In this particular case, it’s the lack of a major feature that was advertised as being in the sim from the point of the first trailer. If you’re flying over the ocean in the tropics, it’s a pretty big deal.

Exactly. And the way it was advertised implied that shallow waters were the new standard. Yet, it is only the exception.
They could have shown a million things in the trailers that are actually in the release. But they choose to show shallow waters over and over. That was obviously on purpose.

Yes, it will probably get updates sometime over the course of the next ten years. Yay!

I sure hope so. If so that would be a nice enhancement to the current release.

To be honest - there have been trailers that do not match what we get in game and advertise to much. At the same time there have been trailers from alpha/beta showing many bad stuff that is now fixed. So in the end we got a good mix of what the current state is and what might come with the next updates. At least this is what I hope because flying in the alps was way better in P3D and freeware austria when it comes to ground textures.

No, it'll be part of their standard, free upgrades/patches they will be releasing periodically from what I've gathered.

The video looks absolutely brilliant so once that water masking is sorted it'll be a great addition. They have to be designed by hand so they are probably getting round to them all eventually. Its already been done in certain areas.. not sure where though..?
