Yeah....December in the North Atlantic is basically "dark". You get 2-3 hours of daylight (more like twilight). And if it is cloudy plus rain...well...you're not gonna see your hand in front of your face. Probably just like in the real world.
One suggestion.....download the North Atlantic Howling Wind Sound mod using the new SH5 water mod together. If and when the weather is 7-10 m/s...with the howling wind.....
Pretty awesome!!
Postscript: This water mod is a
must in my opinion. Totally changes the characteristics of the sim itself. The cloud cover definitely influences water color. Wave types (I use 3D Waves also), foam, wakes, and the realistic slow water motions looks like the real thing. Kudo's to the designer.
