I know we have pretty flat water with ripples on it, but I'm wondering if there will ever be a chance of seeing large swells and waves over the seas and oceans of IL2.

Just asking

Cheers, MP.

You should get 3D seas the next time you start your game up. :wink:

I'm pretty sure Puma knows how to get the game to run perfect water. He is probably thinking of getting water that looks like the seas from the Silent Hunter series.

have u tried the various patches available in these forums? cant recall of the top of my head which one i am using but even the rivers look great.

Exactly as the skunkmeister says!

Everything I have for graphic quality is on max...but the crashing of waves against the ships, docks, seaplanes...yes big waves is what I was thinking of!

Cheers, MP.

Now I understand, sorry. :oops: "Real" waves would be a really good idea.
