Water

Post by Filonian »

Can anyone please recommend a good set of water textures?

The ones I have round the UK look more than a tad tropical.

Funny you mention water Graham. I changed the originals a while ago and ended up with FS_Water (payware) that then got updated with Flight Environment (though to all intents.. the different sea/water textures are the same, being done by the same developer).

Problem for me is that I still see that rubbish texture popping up from time to time even though it was supposed to have been moved. I can fly from Jer to Gue (not the longest of flights) and suddenly.. the dark blue textures will go to be replaced by that torquoise set you've shown :roll: No idea why the hell it happens (here's hoping someone out there knows)! :)

From what I recall, the is no change in the FPS, as it merely replaces the original tiles, with some improved ones. A change of colour doesn't change anything regarding to FPS.

However, listen to what daddy says and remember to back-up...
