This issue is not related to the game but to Nvidia cards. So I expect you will get a flat sun. But I know that some guys in this forum succeeded in activating AA over X4 for Nvidia cards by tweaking it so you have to try that. Unfortunately I do not have a Nvidia card so I cannot do that.

Maybe somebody on these site has setting to make the Nvidia cards work with AA >4X ? If so please post it....!

i managed to get rid of the flat sun ( kind of, in the mornings and evenings is still pretty small but at least its not a white dot anymore) by disabling the gamma correction with the nvidia inspector , however increasing the antialiasing above 4x brings back the small white dot sun .

Yes please, for Nvidia card i’m Very interested to boost AA over X4 without loosing the nice sun!
We can dream :D

Added this in my GWX install today. Very nice. Night's are much darker too

@rik007 , if you have time, please check out this mod :

I found it from a Russian forum, it's a very nice SH5 water mod for SH3 (a 16 km one) and the sun has no issues, it is always big and bright .
As it is right now, for me, the sun from your mod looks too small in the morning and evenings ( see that screenshot from Fifi ) and it causes all kind of issues when it is behind a cloud ( it starts to look like a square and flickers ) .
Is there a way to "import" a sun from a mod to another ? If that would be possible , maybe it will fix the problems for those of us with nvidia cards that have similar issues .
I love the colors from your mod and i would love to use it as my main env mod.

Hi Prody, I will check. I assume you do have a nvidia card? So you can check once a new version is available?

And yes, the mods can be changed. Sometimes with the silent 3d editor, sometimes with just copying the files.

Yes, i have a nvidia card, i can check the new versions.
I tried to import the sun_b.tga node ( with the other two files it contains) from the scene.dat of one mod to the other but it didnt achieved anything .

I don't like these angles on the horizon. Will you be able to fix it?

Ok, I will fix that.

@Rik

Hats off mate great water, however some probs. An Nvidia user and there are terrible artefacts with the moon, flashing, distortion, disappearing etc. I tried to get a screenie but it's impossible. If it helps I'll try get a fraps movie or some such. Our luck when I reload sh3 the bloody weather will change ;)

Bye the bye, better mention, I'm running GWX. Nvidia latest drivers on a 1080ti.

Using my .nip file, can up if need be. Keep it up mate, the sea is the best I seen, just need to iron out the artifacts.

Best regards.

Thank you Fubar. I have no Nvidia card so unfortunately I cannot test it myself. ThePrody is my happy tester :). Not sure what causes it, so it is not so easy. It is an old game and maybe I'm overstretching it a bit.

@Fubar2Niner

Don't worry, i sent Rik a couple of movies with similar problems . I guess we need more feedback from people with Nvidia cards, i also have a gaming notebook from 2012 with nvidia video card, i tried the mod on that one and it works perfect, no issues whatsoever, while the newer one ( its from 2015 ) has all the problems you mentioned .

Thanks for the heads up mate, with luck, between us, we'll crack this :salute:

Best regards.

I probably would like 16 km visibility.

why ? 20 km is definitely more realistic, bridge crew could see up to 20 km .
