I think I actually know the answer to this question, but I thought I would pose it, anyway.

My U-Boat sits in a "hole in the ocean", and there is no water. Also, belowdecks, my crewmen have uniforms in psychodelic colors, and a couple of them are actually disembodied heads!

I realise that this has to do with Pixel Shading, and I'm upgrading in about a week (I have the old nVidea Geforce MX-4000, that has NO pixel shading). I can play the game, of course, but at night, "flying" a German submarine can be disconcerting and disorienting (the heads can be disconcerting, too).

Is there anything that can be done to add water, at least, to a subsim, until I upgrade my video card? I know that emulation doesn't work ... no one wants a framerate of 1.

If there's nothing that can be done, I'm only eleven hours out of Kiel (I play at 1x speed), so there's a lot of transit to be done. Comments and/or suggestions?
