Phosphorescence

[Iron Budokan]

It appears my bow wake and surface foam from the screws is brighter than in SH3. Do you guys think algae phosphorescence is modeled?

I thought this graphic "feature" was due to my graphic card...
Is this what you are writing about?:

Is there a way to correct this? I find it particularly annoying for screenshot purposes...

Yes, it's that same glowing quality.

I was kind of thinking that it is modled in the game.

When I am in shallow water or near islands and I run on the surface the bow waves and wake are a blueish, regardless of amount of moonlight. When I am in the middle of the pacific, I sometimes do not see this. Also, the faster I go, the brighter it seems.

If this is an effect from my graphics card, then it is a nice bonus.

Hehe... bug, or feature? :)

I'll call it a feature.;) If its a bug, then its a good one.:D

It would be cool if the screws stirred up the algae in certain areas and made a phosphorecent green wake at night - as does happen at times in the Pacific.

Somehow I don't think that features is in and it's quite trivial I guess.

I personally don't like it at all, but it is a matter of taste...
Besides, it is not that important, considering the other unwelcome "features" the game is having. ;)
