answered Water colors

This is a photo from P3d showing the Socal region. As you can see I am getting different colors for water. I believe that it is from the region that is causing this. (I think). If it is is there a solution to get the water blue instead of black. Or the texture that I choose with Rex texture. All of the regions that I own are the same way.

Hi

 

In the Vector config tool, under the "water features" please uncheck the "Frozen Surface (in Winter only) option.

 

Also in some of the other regions control panels there is an option to select for frozen water.

Thanks Doug.The one in the vector I had unticked. The rest I was unaware of. Will try and report back.

I tried your suggestion with no results.

My next idea would be to delete the shaders folder, found at C:\Users\name\AppData\Local\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4, and restart the sim to rebuild them.

Doug, I figured out if I unchecked "FTX_NA_SCA08_CUSTOM" in the scenery folder I am able to get the correct colors. I do not have the knowledge to narrow it down to a specific bgl file that may be the culprit.

I would then reactivate it and then do a "Verify Files" from FTXC3 for that product.

Hi there,

 

the custom waterclass textures are deliberately darker than the default set as, with both FSX and P3D, the default textures are often considered to be too light blue; though, obviously, the actual appearance depends on a number of factors.

 

Here's a thread with instructions for manually deactivating our custom water textures: https://orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/91251-fsx-water-issues-rex4-orbx-openlc-orbx-england/?tab=comments#comment-832558

 

Cheers, Holger

I deactivated the wc files and then adjusted rex texture. Here are the results:

Thanks guys
