Just so you know...your frame rates will take a hit. Though my system can handle it OK, there is a drop. This ENV/Water mod is very well done. I am on a patrol in the very North Atlantic with the Arctic Water/Env on. Breath-taking.

Yeah, it's highly recommended..

The choppy seas are breathtaking!

yepp. but the nights are as dark as - dunno. VERY dark. even on my high contrast screen I only sea silhouettes at night. Wonder, how much I can see when I got a clouded sky (which usually makes the darkest nights in sh3). Nuttin' I guess.

Good hunting!

Yeah....December in the North Atlantic is basically "dark". You get 2-3 hours of daylight (more like twilight). And if it is cloudy plus rain...well...you're not gonna see your hand in front of your face. Probably just like in the real world.

One suggestion.....download the North Atlantic Howling Wind Sound mod using the new SH5 water mod together. If and when the weather is 7-10 m/s...with the howling wind.....

Pretty awesome!!

Postscript: This water mod is a must in my opinion. Totally changes the characteristics of the sim itself. The cloud cover definitely influences water color. Wave types (I use 3D Waves also), foam, wakes, and the realistic slow water motions looks like the real thing. Kudo's to the designer.

Yes, but ONLY the 16km Version of this MOD (when you have enabled the 16km Add-On from WAC) !

Best regards,

I use this one myself and highly recommend it. Thanks Venatore!

Wow!

That's SH3?!? My has that come a long way since I've last played it. Is this compatible with the GWX Gold mod? Thanks.

Was looking at this one too.
For GWX3 do you just disable GWX 16k atmosphere and enable whichever of the sh5 water for sh3 mods you choose? As I understand it this mod is based on gwx files so that seems right?
