Water Water everywhere!!

the water in pic 1 looks almost perfect - the one thing spoiling it (IMO) is the ship. if you were to recreate that shot in real life, the ship would be completly blacked out against the bright sea, ie -  a silhouette. that would be a cool effect but i guess transitioning between silhouette mode and shadow mode would be a pretty difficult thing to do for such a trivial effect!  ;)

FSXI - we need the sea to be shimmering! I think the suns reflection on the water in shot one would be almost blinding!

There's just something that I dislike about the FS water, and the problem was the same in FS9... This morning, I looked at the sea, the sun was being reflected just like in this first shot... but in reality, the reflect has the shape of a "V", that is narrow near to me and large in the distance, next to the horizon.

In FS9 and FSX, it is the contrary, the sun reflection has the shape of a A, large near me but narrow on the horizon. I think this is incorrect, what do you think ?  :-?

The fact is, I never really paid attention to it, I just noticed the difference this morning, because I was thinking something stupid like "Wow, IRL looks like FSX"  ;D
