Is there a fix for the bad wakes or whatever it is!

After losing the external camera key F11, I discovered it changed to Alt-F11, who knows!:88) The following is a snapshot of the horrid wakes or bilge water pumped out or what ever they are supposed to be:

The overall graphics in SH4 is poor IMO, SH3 is much better!:yep:
Is there a fix to get rid of these lousy effects?
Thanks.

That's water running off the inner hull - it's actually pretty close to accurate. Just needs to be a little more...ummm...'solid' looking? I mean, it is kinda cheesy looking at the moment, but the concept is right.

Bumping this because it IS a good idea to improve the shader, here - anyone working on this?

It is a great little feature but needs some clearing up for sure:yep:

I don't know about SH3 looking better than SH4 though ...:-?

A bad Wake is, when there is no drink left ..:D

Is it possible to import SH3 water textures (and files) to replace those in SH4?

Yours, Mike

I like the effect but as it's already been mentioned it needs "Toning down" more solid water looking and not like a soap sud factory.....Plus at night its kinda luminous and bright....

But still a step in the right direction for realism...

Same thing happens in Sh3. I noticed that last night, when stopping the U-boat on the surface. I'm like "wait, I'm stopped. Yes, definitely, no water is passing the ship. WHY DO I STILL HAVE A WAKE PROJECTING OFF THE BACK OF MY SHIP AND A BOW WAVE!?!?!"

So...yeah, shader definitely needs some work:
- Should be SLIGHTLY less opaque and less 'sudsy'
- Should have more consistency - the very obvious round 'blobs' dropping off rapidly look silly
- The shader definitely needs to have variables passed to it with the ship's speed and sea state for modification of the effect.
