Water Textures....All at Sea!

[kevin2003]

Dear Fellow Simmers

I was wondering wheither anyone might know the cause and remedy of FS9 water textures appearing as square tiles and usually of different shade of blue. I thought it might be an antialiasing problem as I always have mine switched off, but truth is I just don't know. Any advice would be most welcome.

kind regards

Sadly that's a "bug" in FS2004.
It handels the ocean textures somewhat differently than  FS2002 and this is what cause the tiles.

I expect that vastly improved ocean/water textures are one thing that will  be included in FS-10!  :)

Thanks Joe_D,

I was hoping it might be a case of "hit switch A" or "move slider B" .Nothing is ever that simple in FS. I don't know which is worse, putting up with patchy water or contemplating the migration of dozens of Payware/Freeware addons to FS10. Assuming their even compatible in the first place!

Don't mind me.I'm just having a Sunday night night whinge

Thanks for your help Joe,

Safe flight...

I installed the Tiger Moth package from SimV. It has a water texture package with it. It seems to fix that problem at least on the "my flights" part of the package. I tried the Tonga and Fijii flights and was amazed at the difference.

Hmm, I never have this problem during the day but what does piss me off is that 4 sided thing that shows up on water at night.  The four sided thing I have figured is the detail area, and all the water behind it is a different shade of black and man is it annoying.  But I don't have the ocean texture problem during the daytime, it is solid. I'd know I do LAX to SSY routinely  :P, plenty of water to be had there-12-13 hours worth to be exact  ;D
