Hello. The best water add on in my opinion is Waterzone from the Simviation files located at the bottom of the page.

Perhaps you're not using the same area and time?  :o

Just a thought, I don't remember what I use, but it does the job for me! :)

I use Waterzone also, and it is the best I have found, but also you have to have a video card which will show water textures and reflections.....

Looking at that shot Mat, what graphics card are you using - and does it support DirectX9, as you don't appear to have any reflections...

I think that might be your problem. I had the same with before I upgraded to a DX9 capable card.

I've removed the three images from this thread as they were larger than the permitted size and linked images.
Please upload correct sized images to the SimV server.

Many thanks

Since I do most of my flying here in the Northeast US and specifically Pennsylvania I don't even have water detail turned on.  Believe me, it looks more representative of the water locally that way than when water detail is turned on.  With water detail turned on the muddy old Susquehanna River looks more like the Carribean.  Not correct at all.  I see that river every day for real and it don't look like the carribean.
