I figured I could make a replacement water reflection texture for the taxiways/runways when it is raining, as the default texture is only sized at 256x256. This new scratch-made one is at 2048x2048!  Still have some tweaking to do and if I like it enough, I'll upload it.







Comments welcome!  8-)

COOL 8-)

Quite realistic. You kids with computer talent really burn me up...

Looks sweet. Will it be usable for FS2004?

Man, am I jealous! You'd better give me coffee the formula for this madness. The eyes will watch you until you do...

Thanks guys. 

@ Sir Puma: FS9 doesn't use a bump map for runway/taxiway reflections, but I'll look info what makes the shine and see if there is a way to get a similar effect.

@ Strawberry Yogurt: No comment... 

Looks nice, although I don't think going out into that storm in an ultralight is the best idea.

That's not the point!  I just chose it because it was easy on frame rates to just do a quick test. 

OK, i just checked, and there isn't a specific texture used by FS9 to create reflections, so the answer is no, this cannot be done for FS9. 

Excellent texture ! Indeed it looks much nicer and much more realistic than the original one !  8-)
Only thing that makes me worry is the impact on the FPS. On my previous computer, I had a small impact on the frames when it was raining, because of this reflection.
How is this new texture ?

boredom never looked so good.....

Good stuff, but it looks a lot like plastic wrap.
