Title: Water Textures
Post by: EHM-2383 Ian on February 28, 2011, 06:21:00 pm

Can anyone recommend a freeware set of replacement water textures for FS9? I see a number in AVSIM but not sure which to try.
Thanks,
Ian

Hi Ian,

I do not know for certain if water textures are included, but for FS9 in pre-REX times i always used to fly with 'Real Environment Professional' as environment add-on. It may be a bit older already and perhaps it's not as superb as the full-blown REX itself, but it sure makes one hell of a difference in your FS9 environment when compared to default or to many other (some even payware!) add-ons!

See this forum post on the REX forums: http://realenvironmentxtreme.com/forum/index.php?topic=1341.0 (http://realenvironmentxtreme.com/forum/index.php?topic=1341.0)

In my opinion definately worth a try!

Cheers,
Stef

ps. just checked while looking for the link: it does do water textures as well!

Thanks Stef. Can't afford any more payware at the moment which is why I am looking for freeware, but will keep this one in mind. I think I have found quite a nice one called Mywaterproject by Sacha Durre on Avsim. Colours look so much more realistic than the FS9 default ones, at least from ground level. I will make a better judgement once I make my next  flight and see this from the air.

Ian
