That is a setting into the scene.dat file... you must to edit it.

Open the scene.dat file, using minitweaker program, go to :

General Environmental Data

Edit....

WaterOpacity = XX

I use WaterOpacity = 10, and have the effect you dont like, just rise up it up to 50, you will not see the proppellers underwater anymore.
Hi Redwine. I can't recomend using Minitweeker, because the scene.dat will be corrupted with 2 bugs after you save the file. Use S3D by Skwasjer instead to avoid making a scene.dat with jiggly water.

Is correct change this line to make the water less transparent around to the submarine or it must modify also other?
Silent Hunter 3 editor (beta 0.5.4) --> EnvData --> Properties --> WaterOpacity=10

Thanks

I agree with Sailor Steve ...but after installing Dave's ROW mod collection i cant resist watching the outside world
