In the second there's a new fix with the same view point:



So ocean color in old fix was brighter when you look at it to horizon and darker when you look straight down to it.
And in the new fix is just the reverse effect (looking at the horizon ocean looks darker, straigh down brighter.)
Is it possible to make the ocean look darker the same way everywhere as it is in thenew fix ?
Disable my flat sun fix and you'll see the exact same thing in the GWX3 16km Atmosphere as you see in the (new) flat sun fix. I am aware of the problem but you'll never see it from anywhere except the external camera (which realism players don't use). When I mentioned the problem to KL before release he said he found it preferable to the polygon problem and decided to go with that version of the environment for release.

If you make the water dark when looking down you basically have OLCE2 i.e. you re-introduce the polygon problem.
