Water looks much better for calm weather in Update #5?

Hi, the water looks much better in Update #5 when the weather is calm. Anybody else notice the improvement? The water for calm weather looks good in calm weather now. It looked good back when MSFS was released in August too.

Yep. Agreed!

That’s great to hear. Can’t wait to get home and test this one out. Night lighting, water reflections and weather fixes are most welcome improvements.

It does… reflections look better, (to me) as well.

Better but still looks fake when clam. Last 3 updates did something with it that removed water realism. However, when conditions are not calm, the water looks fantastic. If we can have the water look like the way it was previous to the last 3-4 updates ago when it is clam and the way it is now when it is not clam, that would look best IMO.

The only thing is in calm weather I am seeing a light blue line on the water edge between land and reflection in the water, a blue gap if you will. This results in a blue edge on both sides of rivers at certain angles and on the edges of lakes.

Patch 5 water is much much better, but still has a bit too much reflection (IMHO) and risks looking oily. But I have to thank Asobo for listening.
