Default New environment mod?

I looked all enviroment mods for SH3, WAC Atmosphere is the best on my taste, but have some big mistake, if i understand right. From sun side we have just a small strip from sun, where water is white (or metallic) color, i hope you understand about what im talking. But in reality from sun side all water have to be white, like in stock, and this i watched in reality on the Neva river from bridge. If im right, is there possible to fix it? I cant do it by simple compilation of files.

It is possible if your using SH3 Commander that a 'Rollback' is needed?

Hi Sokolov!

I understand what you are talking about.
Unfortunately it has been long ago when I made the environment mod for WAC. So,I do not know what changes I made to the files nowadays.
But to calm you down I can confirm that the sea also has this small light strip in reality. But it depends which day time it is. I have been to Malta the last 10 days and here is a photo which shows the sun and the light on the sea:


greetings
Han
Yes , but there are on the foto small area of lighted water from sun around this strip. And what about another day time?


So, i like water in WAC 16km atmosphere, seems the best for me. I tried all known environment mods, and didnt find realistic picture not in one. The sun too small, or too big, like in stock. Sun reflection on water and lightning per time of day, if look on sun position, not correct (sun is high, but i have a feeling that lightning not enough bright, looks like depending on sun size), water color on sun day(but here im guided on Neva river) should to be like on this picture: its a picture of Atlantic ocean, may be water should be a little more bright color and a little more lilac than on this picture. Clouds reflection on water not visible, but the water more gray where clouds, less colored, bright.

May be someone take all this things and make realistic environment mod? I guess, we have not such mod for now. And would be cool to have it for SH3

Wow,nice pics.I see why Sokolov thinks its best...though the baby blue water in some screens throws me.I really like how much work has been done to Kiel canal.Those plants on shore line are great and would love to see trees galore on the banks for the whole length but think it might be a FPS killer.I also feel a major immersion boost would be every port having trucks coming and going.Seeing a tank or two and a truck crossing the bridge at Kiel would be excellent!!

So I vote YES
