New feature: Independent wave slider

I was flying over water and telling myself ’ this is nice, but it would be nice to see some waves not almost mirror surface’.

The thing is though you cant have waves with no wind. so I had a 80 knots wind blowing to have myself some cool waves.

So what if we got a independent slider in the weather menu to control waves… It also but linked by a ration so that you couldn’t have giant waves with absolutely no wind…

Tell me your thoughts !
(of course broken stuff is prio :slight_smile:

Sounds overly complicated. What about those people who want to have giant waves with no wind? The current system of waves being related to wind speed seems the best decision to me since it’s most realistic.

That would be great :+1:.

The default waves look flattened which make the reflection of the clouds look blocky (I just invented a new word :2nd_place_medal:).

Essentially, what you are asking for is swell, which is independent of wind. Similar ideas have been brought up in the past. See, for example, this post, about using Meteoblue data to provide swell in addition to the wind driven waves:

It can be realistic. Its just that the game doesn’t take in consideration
Tides or currents

Why don’t start the title with “request”?
There are people not worried with waves.
