When the camera is high above the waves the water looks like this,


But when the camera is low in the waves it looks like this

What is happening?

Waves look different when viewed from above than when viewed at water level.

NVidia is what I use, the one over SS08's required one. and I see the sea really realistic, but SSE looks Facinating in the Trailer. Nothing wrong with SS08 water :thumbs:

The rain looks like that from the inside due to a bug I believe.

If I remember correctly VSTEP couldn't fix it for this version of the game as they would need to change the entire weather model.

Correct me if I'm wrong though! :)

I think that if VSTEP made the rain hit the ground realistically, most PCs couldn't handle the extra work. As it is, some lower-spec PCs crash or go extremely slowly if there is any rain at all.

After all, this is a ship simulation, and any improvement in the rain means that less is available for the ships. I know which I'd prefer...  ;)

The rain is a two-dimensional screen, not a 3-D effect. For internal (bridge) views it is near the bottom of the layers, just above the sky. That is why it stops at the horizon.
For external views, the rain screen is the top layer so you will see it falling between you and the ships; and past the horizon.
It is not real water, so it can’t get anything wet. Adding splashes on decks (where there is not really any rain) would, as Terry said, be too expensive, and kill the frame rate.
Live with it.

In Virtual Skipper 5: when it's raining you can even see circles on the water, for example.
But before someone replies to this, of course the above is not important in SS!  ;D

That's the same way I got it from the Sahara desert.
