Default Sea is too transparent looked from the sky

Is there a way to decrease the transparency of the sea? we can clearly see the board's under water part right now.

In /data/Env/SeaParameters.cfg there are settings for 'TransparencyDistance' and 'TransparencyDistanceUnder'. Try playing with those.

"TransparencyDistance" is for beyond water when set it to low means drescreasing Transparency.

"TransparencyDistanceUnder" is for in the water.
there have 4 sea parameters setting groups in this cfg file. each of them corresponding a wind speed range. you need to edit transparency settings in these 4 groups separately.
