Sorry for the long title but anyway...

I downloaded and installed the water textures as mentioned in the title hoping to get some beautiful water like in some other posts. (Just for example, like in this post http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=screen;action=display;num=1089920481 -third pic down-)

My water settings are maxed, is there anything else I can do to make it look good??

What graphics card do you have? And how much RAM?

My video card is an NVIDIA GForce 2 and i've got 256 MB of RAM.

Ah that could be the problem. You really need 512mb of RAM to run the program maxed, and the 2 is not really up to the job...
Time to look at some memory and a new graphics card methinks....

I may do that but the money front is low at the moment. What card do you recommend?

At the cheaper end of the market the Ti4xxx series are good. I'm running a Ti4600 with a PIII 1Ghz and 512mb RAM and getting great results in FS9 with everything maxed (mind you I've spent months tweaking!).
But since the Ti5xxx series came out the 4000 series prices have become v.reasonable and still give great performance. DON'T get the MX4
