How do i enable waves in water

how do i enable waves in sea water aswel as waves near shores and beaches?

I think you have to set the water details at "2x" at least, else you would get only some small, non-reflective waves.

Ahh ok thanks i did that already still i have not seen water with waves effects anywhere

Really ?
Then maybe your video card is too old, and does not support this visual feature (pixel shaders or something like that).
What video card do you have ?

I got nvidia 8800 gtx video card

wow.

i hav a feeling u mean 3d waves, swells, that sort of thing?

the only waves in FSX are the wavy looking water reflections, and those flat things ull see going in and out near coastlines.

but in case u dont mean that, then just set water to max, see wat happens...

[Ashton Lawson]

almost forgot,

just in case, make sure u hav the Latest Drivers from www.nvidia.com (uduh)...

Ouch ! OK  ;D
With such a monster, you should get just anything you want. I think simply you forgot to update your video drivers.

Make sure the animations box in the display menu is checked.

[Ashton Lawson]

forgot...

if theres a effects detail slider, crank that to max

[Hard Core Gamer]

i put everything to the max but i still cant see animated water waves. do you people understand what i mean? i want to see the waves at the beaches like surf? I have checked the Advanced Animations option and everything to the max but the water is not animating nor the beach has any surf or waves.

I also hve the latest drivers from nvidia.

Something funny its in your PC , I used to use a Pentium 3 and a p

[Ashton Lawson]

quite simply, ur case is mindblowing...

one question tho, hav u downloaded, or changed anything in ur fsx cfg file?  cuz alot of stuff can happen in der that'll make thinks go funky.

if it aint that, then i guess ur stuck waiting for the DX10 patch...

oops, forgot again, do u hav the SP1 for FSX?

[Hard Core Gamer]

no i only got the regular fsx not the deluxe version but that shouldnt matter. I don tknow why i cant see waves smashing the surfs near the beach. All the water affects i see are there but they dont animate. There is no waves at the beaches either.

This is our system specs:

well downloading SP1 from the fsinsider.com website seems to be ur last hope.

good luck!
