Please reduce the glassy, mirror like water for Oceans. It never looks like this Reflective in real life

I hope they reduce the reflectivity of ocean water; I really feel that with the way the water looks so saturated, glassy, flat and mirror-like, that it makes the whole game look somewhat like a colorful video game, rather than a realistic ‘Flight Simulator’.

I have lived next to the ocean all my life, and have been fortunate to travel to different continents and fly above plenty of oceans. Rarely is it this glassy, over saturated appearing and mirror like.

The ocean’s water never looks that reflective and glassy, most days there are very tiny ripples, even on clear, wind-less days. This is because the earth is constantly rotating too, so the water is also actually in motion.

It seems like there is some relation to the ‘Raymarched Reflections’ slider on Ultra; When set to Ultra, it makes the water overly reflective and glass-like.

Request : Please reduce ocean water reflectivity/ glassiness effect .

I completely agree!!

100% agree. Stop being forced to add fake wind to make the sea more realistic.

FYI, there is a discussion topic for this wish:
