• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Ever since FS4, the water colour in FS has been off... It would be really wonderful to have the water colour look more realistic...
 
No, it is not quite there yet.
I have been trying to make darker water in FSX, but can't seem to get it right. When making the water.r8 texture darker, it bearly show in the sim. It seems like this texturefile, only affect a little bit of the sea.

Does anyone know how to make the coulor darker?

Here in Norway, our sea is almost black. There was a great addon to FS9 witch made the sea look pictureperfect.
This is more like i want:

Hi all.

You can make the water color what you want by making a waterclass BGL and use altered textures for it in a local 'TEXTURE' folder. You need to include all the textures used by your waterclass BGL.

Or you may find a color you like, and simply use that number in a waterclass BGL.

The waterclass textures are named similar to:

301b2su1.bmp

And they are named 301 through 360.

I did a bit of reading, and found out that a lot is done if i could change the water class. I could see the different classes with the viewer, but could'nt find out where to change the values for my "sector".
Can someone point out a good tutorial for me to learn to change the classes?
 
Guys, please do discussions in the discussion forums (for example about the mesh scenery for this subject). Don't have discussions here in this wishlist forum, that will make things very hard to follow and find back later. Thanks.
