Have quietly sat on my mushroom watching the mods going by and decided it was time to pipe up and say what wonderful work Leo(rip),Kriller, Ducimus and all the rest have done to make this a wonderful simulator to enjoy. Also...for those who scream that a mod has messed up your computer......99.9% of time I found it was something I did...not the modder. If all else fails.......READ THE DIRECTIONS! Just wanted to throw in my 2 cents on loss of texture in TC. I have noticed it only happens if weather changes in TC for me. Just a little wind or wave change seems to do it. Probably been looked at already...but thought I'd throw it out.
:hmm:

If the whole world would follow instructions, there would be no need for things like, "tech support"

WIP for new stormy conditions

Im trying to make the storms so that the ocean will still be in a shade of blue/grey and the soroundings allso like RL to give the storms a more dramatic look instead of the old grey storms from PE3, what do you think ?

The stormy weather states really needing a reworking for a more realistic portrayal. So far those shots are looking pretty darn close. :up:

Looking great, K2! :D

I concur :yep::up:


RDP

Looks great. One of my favroit mods is getting even better.:up:

K2, we're running out of adjectives to describe PE... fantastic, wonderful, awesome, colossal, stupendous...

But I'm getting worried. You keep this up, nVidia and ATi will have to create new cards and drivers just to do your tweaking justice! :up:

That stunning .... the slate blue in those storm shots :up:

Feedback:

Water is too blue in the storms. As a great deal of the color comes from reflections under low light conditions, when you have a thick dark gray overcast, you should have water that is grayish in color, not blue.

The light is not strong enough to cause the same coloration it does when the sun is out (blue wave length scattering), so color should shift in this case to a more reflective color.

If you have some light poking through and the haze becomes bluish, then the water will have a bluish cast similar to the screen shots.

Otherwise, with clouds and haze being gray, you'll only have traces of blue, usually more of a bluish green where there's foam, the bulk should have a grayish cast to it.

Still on vacation, thought I'd check out how you guys are doing...and by the looks of it, some people (hi, Kriller2!) are doing an AMAZING job! :up:

I wanna go there! Wherever that is:lol:

I'm pretty sure I saw that chair on Palawan.

:p

I will verify this, I must go in September for vocational reasons to Cebu and Palawan:cool:

My Grandfather was in Palawan, only in 1944. The pictures he took look a heck of a lot different than that paradise:nope:

Hi Dr. Beast, thanks it looks like you got the best view on the ocean from that chair, looks nice :up:

Hi Swdw,
thanks for the feedback, I needed that :yep: and have corrected the water colour in storm and cloudy now, but if I set the fresnell coefiecient very low in the scene.dat it allso affects all other weather settings so I have left it so we have the nice glossy sea in bright daylight :up: but instead I have turned down the sun reflection a bit when storm and now the sea is a greyish colour with a little trace of blue, pictures coming up soon!

PE4 new underwater environment
 

Hi all,

Here is the latest update, I have added some new bubles to the submarines and u-boats and made a new seabed and underwater-colours:

@Swdw is it better?

Looking Great as usual K2 :up:

Liking those seabeds with what looks like lots less weed/kelp

Keep on tweaking :rock:

These shots are perfect in my opinion... Can't find the right words... truly jawdropping...

Do the underwater colors change with the bad weather as well into a more greyish look or do they stay that blue like in the underwater shots in sunny weather?

How is the fps-hit in comparison to the stock-game? I know it's one of the stupid questions to ask...but well my rig is kind of low-end and I'm getting worried that I can't play with your mod.

And another one I have... does this mod only affects the atlantic-waters or does it cover the arctic and mediterranean waters as well?

Best regards...and keep up the great work!!
