Realistic water would be a long term goal and more at home with a Naval simultaion than a flight sim. I doubt any one of us has a super computer that would be capible of doing a realistic surface model of the channel.

That video was just eye candy! It was of a very limited area and I doubt it took into account the physics of the wind interacting with the water surface. In short although nice looking I doubt we'd get any useful info from that technique. Being able to guage the wid speed and direction from the wind chop would be fantastic , though beyond the scope of any consumer sim in the near future.

Cheers!
