Water opacity GWX(latest version)

jumpy · 05-07-07, 09:00 AM

Having finally got my stuff sorted to play again, I'm finding the water a little bit too 'dark' - I know realism is all the thing, but I'd like to know which files/parameters I have to change (withiout being too complicated about it) to increase the visibility distance under water. The colour is fine, you just cannot see very far. Are the two independent of eachother - colour / visibility distance?

I like the visual spectacle of being depthcharged or cruising along just above the bottom etc.

Anyone provide me with a link to a topic or the files I need to look at?

I use SH Commander for this.

hmm, yer I remember doing that before, but I was hoping to do it without this time.

Nice option with Commander, if you don't like it, just roll back Commander when exiting the game.

Set Cmdr to its maximum (20) and you've got water the equal or perhaps even clearer than stock

I have tried many water mods but I'd say that the best is Krillers water, it's a little merky but can still see your boat relatively well, IMO, more realistic!
