Long story short:

I am looking for the "GWX 3.0 Gold 8 km atmosphere mod".
I already downloaded like 3 different versions of GWX 3.0 but only the 16 km atmosphere mod is in all of the latest releases and I can't find the 8 km version anywhere. Could someone please send the files to me or link me to it.

I play on an x230 laptop with integrated Intel HD 4400 graphics - I have weird flickering water and all reflections are in one band on the left side of the screen. I looked for hours and found a possible fix here: https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=157068

It does fix the flickering water if I use it with the GWX 16 km atmosphere but the sky turns black as stated in by the original poster. So if anyone has the files of the 8 km version, it would be much appreciated.

It is in the GWX 3/Gold download. 8k is the default environment; just install 3.0, start the game, and that is an 8k.
16k is the standalone env. mod, not the 8k.

Also, any black sky problems are many times due to a scene.dat error; the wrong version of it being used.

Thanks for your reply. It's much appreciated. If 8km is the default enviroment than it seems that the intel gfx fix mod did not work for me.

Just in case someone in the future will have the same problems - I now use a mod called "SH-5 water for SH-3 Ultimate V10 8Km". Even so it doesn't entirely fix the problem the flicker is hardly noticable most of the time.
