no reflections at the "Left/Right" side of the sun

[tonschk]

Hello ,In my opinion ( below in the two screenshots )there are wrong dark areas each side (left/right)of the sun ,in this areas the surface of the ocean is already dark , but the sun is still up in the sky ,I think the bright reflection of the sun on the surface of the water is not ONLY below the sun , must be also at the left and right side of the sun ,this have been always a problem in SH4 even with the ROW Mod , in SH3 this problem does not exist , in SH3 the left middle and right areas are full bright

Yes, this has always been a bit of a problem. I have to say I bump gamma in the game a bit to make everything a bit brighter overall. While this may wash out the colors a bit, the sea isn't black and the sun is looking even hotter. Screenshots always come out a bit darker because they are taken from the framebuffer, without any brightness/contrast/gamma modification...

The latest WIP ROW (currently being tested) is alot better. Together with gamma up a notch it really looks alot better ingame than the usual screenshot posted on this board.

I hope this problem can be correct somehow

It is a work in progress just like GWX is after all these years. Things will be perfected in time.

:o are you comparing WIP work with real shots of sun sets..! That's a good sign ?, still working on this, but I can't promise it will look like the photo :D
