Yes, closer to the shore/beach the water is shallow and more likely to be green, in the middle of the atlantic ocean the water is very deep and less likely to be green if is a sunshine bright day with a nice blue sky

answering in the OH thread, to which the new balloons will belong if you like the idea :)

Glad you liked that optional mod. Hadn't you noticed it yet? :huh:

@ Captain73: thank you man :)

@ tonschk: so in other words you vote against any change to the water colour :hmm2:

Anyone else wanting to express his opinion? Preferably people knowing North Atlantic better than me. I have a direct experience only of the Mediterranenan Sea and, partly, of the Indian Ocean, but I only know North Atlantic from books and photographs :doh:

Apparently in shallow water near the shore the color have a tendency to be some sort of green, in the deeper areas the color have a tendency to be blue if the sky is blue

The picture you have posted below is obviously relative to a tropical atoll, not to North Atlantic :03: but what you are saying is generally true: below a certain depth, the seabottom is visible through the water surface, and seabottom's colour will alter the perceived sea color :yep:

You can have more or less the same effect in game, by using the Clear Water Surface optional mod of Dyn Env :up:

Well, i decided to give the huricane wave settings a go, so where better to test it than the FAAARRR North, like further than iceland!

Overall, pretty darn rough, but i think im putting it back to gale, its just too much!:)

:haha:

Thank you for reporting, SixthFall. By the way, have you noticed any performance hit while using the hurricane settings?

Not really, its pretty minor, only a few fps here and there. But it makes you feel like you should be in a doomed fishing boat with George Clooney rather than in a submarine! Does anyone here use sobers best ever fog? I was wondering if it is worth using and what it does, cant seem to find much info on it.

Medium fog sunset with the new sobers best ever fog V24 SH5 . Medium fog is more like light fog .

I seem to have a lot more premature detonations with my new waves mod .
sobers waves mod V25 SH5

Well done sober :up:

I want to update the first page with info and dowload links of your mods, but I can't find a valid link to sobers waves mod V25 SH5 :hmm2:

That's because its V27 now . I promise that is the last one for this year :yep:

I got a simple question, I am going to migrate from 2.1 to 2.8.7, which wave mechanic do I need if I was using Dynamic Environment SH5 Waves (normal version) V2.1?

Hello! All Happy New Year! :woot:
I loved the waves in the SHO! Ships disappear from sight on the horizon! And it creates a sense that you're on a small boat in the open ocean!
You can create this in SH5? :hmmm:
