I'm working on a map_C for Smolensk/ Belarus and the thing has umpteen zillion rivers and streams and only a half-dozen of those are of any real size. When I checked out the original Oleg Smolensk, the rivers look not-great. Every little stream is the width of the Dneiper. This is also useless for any real navigation.

The FF idea sounds great - especially, if you use "riverbank" type .tga's around each plate to make it look realistic.

Has anyone tried FF's idea? Does it impact fps or give any other problem?
