Flying around Canberra, Australian Territory, I found this unusual special effect.

Oh yes, I remember that fountain. I visited Canberra with my school last year - see that green area next to the water? We had recess down there. Black Swans love walking around that area.  And while eating my 2x Krispy Kreme donuts for recess, one started chasing me.

You may want to give a try to those replacement waves for ocean and lakes, a new set of textures that will make the waves smaller. The result is a water that looks more calm, it looks a bit better when you're next to a coast like in your shots, or a lake.

yep, that foutain, if i remember, is right near the war memorial.  Damm, I totally forgot about Telstra tower too in the background.  I was there a few years ago.  Telstra tower is the highest free standing tower in the world (helps that it is on top of a big big big hill too).   Not sure what the big building on the right in the last pic is...might symbolize the war memorial, but I can't remember.  Seems really familiar though.

Loved Canberra...can't wait to go back.

No offense, but those reflections ruin all of your pictures..

Try a new envmap.bmp file, you can see from the aircraft and panel that your current one is far too reflective.

Not offended in the least. I'm not crazy about the 150 I have. The texture doesn't even match the picture that comes with it. It's toast as far as I'm concerned.

Thanks, I'll look into that!
