Thanks.
The changes in the environment are:
  • New sunlight reflection colours have been added. The reflection off the water was disabled in all previous versions since OLCE1, for good reasons which I won't go into, but now it's back (partly to make things look right with the brighter GWX3 water colours) without noticable adverse effects.
  • The colours of the bow foam/wake and sea foam have been altered (as have the colours of particle effects such as water splashes) particularly at sunset and sunrise (see the sunset shots in the first post). That's something I wanted to do for quite a while because those colours never looked quite right when the camera was facing the sun at sunset. Facing a sunset in rough foamy seas looks much better to me now.
  • The new artistic-license-size GWX moon has been replaced by the old real-life-size OLCE2 moon (and the reflection has been removed of course).
  • The reflection of the clouds has been tweaked.
In case it needs saying: none of the changes have any effects on sensors.
