Not that OT - the new WAC env is partly based on OLCE.

Though I must say, hansolo has done some amazing work on it!

The nice wave effect in WAC is achieved easily if you want to DIY. Just open the OLCE2 scene.dat in S3D and find a value called choppywave. By default it is set to 0.03. Change it to 0.04, or even 0.05, and see the difference.

This is a setting I played around with for OLCE2, but I left it at 0.03 in the end because (1) it causes some graphical artifacts in some weather conditions and (2) it affects wave heights and shapes, which in turn affects surface physics and sinking physics in GWX. But when I say it "affects" things, its not the same as saying it "breaks" things, i.e. everything will basically still work if you change choppywave, so try it out.
Thank you very much. Sure I'll try!, although I guess he has changed also some textures and colors, in order to make the sea so realistic (even more than in OLEC, IMHO, which is already a very nice/real env) as seen in his mod (?).

BTW, in my last post I did a typo:

"I don't like the lack of two levels of zoom, but I like to see the sea waves at full scale, and not a flat sea, so I think I'll try to use the Special version if I can (instead of can't ) get rid of the dark look. "
