FANTASTIC shader enhancement for water

Featured Replies

Crap. I found this shader water fix and was so excited that I immediately downloaded it and deleted my Terrain folder contents and replaced my water shader file without backing up the original. I know, I know, I'm an idiot. But after testing FSX to see the results and seeing that my oceans and rivers look like Geofa's pictures, I'm screwed. I have Accel/SP2 and no backups. Help?What do I do besides re-installing Accel?

Hi Stefen,Well, you messed up but if we were always perfect it would be boring, no? :--)I don't know if re-installing Accel will fix your issue.Send me a PM with your email address and I'll send you a copy of my Terrain folder.

WOZ -- I'm quite intrigued by your example shots, not least of which because of your choice of my scenery:)Since I've spent a bit of time at that location over the last few years, I dug up some photos for comparison.First up, this is pretty normal for the harbour area -- not a lot of reflection...http://www.windowlight.co.nz/images/FSXwater04.jpgOn a lovely still morning a few kilometres up the Sounds, there's a bit of reflection, but this is about as still as it gets:http://www.windowlight.co.nz/images/FSXwater01.jpgCloser up to show the reflection of the boat:http://www.windowlight.co.nz/images/FSXwater03.jpgAnd this is typical of a great day on the Sounds; lovely coloured water, but again no sign of any clear reflection:http://www.windowlight.co.nz/images/FSXwater02.jpgStill, overall I'd say that I'd be happy with your choice of water here, roll on SP2-compatibility...Robin CornGodzone Virtual Flight, for 'Real New Zealand' sceneryhttp://www.windowlight.co.nz

Where else can we download the file from? I have trouble getting to those sites.Got the file!

  • Author

Sorry but because those files don't belong to me and there is probably a reason why they are there and not in Avsim's library, I can't send them to you directly.But both the websites are working, I just checked and the download is free from charge.regards,David

Hi.I have just installed the acceleration pack over my FSX, and then lost the fantastic enhancement of the vater Ingvar had given us all. Is anybody trying to do the same thing to the acceleration upgraded version? KindlyJakob Arnholtz: http://imaginebutterflies.dk/

Hi Jakob,It's written in this topic, they are not compatible.Sorry.

I was just thinking loud. I hope that someone with the right knowledgecould do the same thing (with new programming of course!) as seen in the schreenies in this thread, with an acceleration updated FSX.KindlyJakob Arnholtz ( Waterfreak!)

First Up1. WARNING!!! this stuff DOES NOT WORK WITH FSX SP2 AND YOU CAN HAVE TROUBLE RESTORING YOUR FILES2. I,ve had people ask me where the scenery for the Edwin Fox /Picton area in NZ in my posts is from:http://www.windowlight.co.nz/realnzmarl.htmlCheers WOZ

Wonderful scenery BTW :--)Yes, I've already warned people about the non-compatibility of this file with SP2, it's always nice to reminding it.Best regards,David
