Default GWX 3 water texture

Hi,could do with some advice..I'm upgrading my pc and gonna do a fresh install of gwx 3. My question is ,is it possible to revert back to 2.1 water textures as i can't get used to the "creamy" type effect of 3.0.
Any advice appreciated.

After many experiments with different mod's this is the best water I could come up with for GWX 3.0. First install I made was Water_Stream_for_Uboats_V4 next OLC 16km Environment (High Detail) next Thomsen"s Water V3.1 and then for some reason to get the water stream mod to work right Racerboy_SH4_Effects_for_SH3_2_03 I dont know if you"ll have to use Racerboys effects mod to get your water stream mod to work ,but I did.The last thing I put in was Carotio_SH3-Seafloor2_256mb This environment looks the best on my system it doesn't have that smooth and creamy look to it,I hope this helped.

Ummm here
But I know nothing of the sea textures
AFAIK Kpt Lehman intergrated OLCs work into GWX 3 so maybe he is the best to ask

One thing never messed with

If you want to go back to GWX 2.1 water all you would need to do is copy the env folder and the scene.dat file and paste them into GWX 3.0 overwriting the newer GWX 3.0 ones!

ok

Maybe game will run good if He replace files, but maybe not, and then he lost many more settings from files because of changing files, not only TGA textures for ocean or settings. But I don't know changes between GWX versions described abowe.

Maybe we should put these "water" mod possibilities through the mill and see which one is best. I for one use Manos Environment Pro 1.1 and find the water to be very very good. But I have also sinned and lusted after the water in WAC3 too.

I tried Thomsen's Water 1.1 but found it far too "choppy"....when in winds >= 12 MS it just doesn't look real to me. Mind you, in calmer waters it looks very nice.

I wish we had the SH4 Environment Pro boys here to share their experience.
