FSX Water Effects in FS2004?

[chris34]

Is there ANY possible way in the world to transfer the FSX water effects to FS2004? I hope so because the fsx water is great looking to me and I love the reflections.

Hi,

No, sorry there is not a way. However, there are plenty of water replacements out there for FS9.

jim's right, and some of them are quite good even though theyre feeware. there are also some much better spray effects for your flying boats and floatplanes - just search the files using different keywords. and dont exclude files for fs2002, some of those are prettty nice too. none of them have the reflections, but you'll still see a very big improvement.

Or you could try REX (Real Environment Extreme) for FS9. Thats what i use and it basically is close enough to FSX water effect for me at least. If you have the money get it if not save for it because this thing also allows you to make the sim look 99% realistic. U can change sky textures, sunsets, sunrise, rwy textures, etc... well u get pretty much what im saying. If you want to buy this thing (first watch some youtube videos about REX FS9) so you can see what you can do with it. Some of my youtube videos have REX on them. The link to my channel is in my signiture bellow.

Hello,

Zinertek Ultimate (or advanced) Water (payware) is good for me

Chris34 For what is worth, I think the water textures in Real Environment Pro- Aqua Pro Dark are very good especially if you fly in Europe where the water is normally darker.

Here is the link to REX for FS9:

Its a vary good addon. It gives the hard Minnesotan winters (Minneapolis St. Paul ranked 5th in the cities with the most snow- average 59 inches a year) the realism they desurve.

Hey guys I run FS9 Rex overdive and my water cloud reflections are way over done. I get these weird verticle white lines from water to clouds. I wish there was someway to dial this down without losing other water effects. And while I am asking ...Nick or anyone else would you be so kind as to share with me your theme selections....Mine are so far off from real....BTW I tried putting this on the Rex forum and not one person was kind enough to give any suggestions....Thanks for any help..................

[nickac1092]

yea sure. Il give you my year round selection and by all means, change it to your preferances. Sky: Nice day, Clouds: Cumulus 54, Inland water, In... Blue 1, Ocean water, Blue 1, Tropical water, Algae fields, Waves, Realistic, Runway/taxi (this didnt work for me since i had 3rd party from Real environment HD) Asphalt runway 8, Asphalt taxiway 5, Concrete rwy 13, and concrete taxi.. 15, Taxiway markings, scuffed (this is my preferance since my home airport has alot of the scuffed markings), Sun and lighting, Blazing (sun) Flare, Blaze, Lightning, Elmos Fire (Elmo from seasime street has turned evil!!!), Landing lights, Xeon Intense, Strobe, Real, Rwy lights, Grand. Thats my settings. If you dont like them change them.
