Try going to the main menu of SIMviation (where you have the "downloads", "forums", "search", etc. buttons). Go to search, and type in Lemoncat's Waterzone. Or you could try typing in Waterzone
.zip.

EDIT: Nevermind... I've tried that myself, I can't find it either.

Are there any night water texture that doesn't reflect like a mirror but able to keep the daytime water texture like it's supposed to look?

..strange that Midnight....don't look like that on my PC!....I get a shimmering effect at night and a broken gleaming effect from the moon..sure you got the water slider cranked right up. You can't really expect to see the waves at night...just where the light catches 'em eh? Can you post a pic of that "mirror" effect..commoner. ;)

Hi all. I,ve just downloaded "Waterzone" but before I install it does anyone know if I'll see any benefit with my poor old Geforce4 MX440SE video card which is unable to display reflections in FS9?
Any help appreciated.

Cheers.
Zaphod.

...just backup all the files you are about to change then you can try it for yourself......... ;) Don't forget to put the water effect slider at 100%...commoner.

I'm afraid not.....there's no fix for the water textures and GF cards. I'm in the same boat, we all need new graphics cards!
