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!
Running a 480 here and I can run that simulation at max settings 60 fps.

Also you cant do that with dx10, because its direct compute/tesselation.

Im not whinning (any more), just irritated.
