Heavy cloud, start above 5k over the coast and come down then low flight over the sea to inland, set time around 6pm.

Overcast, start low over the sea, work inland, time around 4pm.


Cheers FB.

Will do. The vids themselves won't take long to make at all, however, due to my third world internet connection (SE English village) the upload time to youtube will!

Understand FB.

Have you tried to turn down the reflections in the options?

Why? I always assumed that higher was better (there on max which is 20 i believe at the moment).

Just a thought, maybe the reflections are too errr...reflecty for the channel water...was just a idea.

And the 20 setting is for light sources i think, not reflections.

I think you're right. The water is too "reflecty" lol. I live on the south coast, though in a much nicer place than Fruitbat and I know this sounds strange but the sea surface should have a matt finish. Not quite the gloss we've got here. The action of the water surface is amazing though. Colours? Difficult for any devs to do I think as the colour of the sea changes constantly and the naked eye perceives colour in a much different way from any photo-process.

Performance of this new map on my PC? Just got back from PC World and have doubled my RAM but looks like my venerable old 460GTX 756mbvram has met it's match here. 660ti 3gb in the new year I think
Runs slower than CLoD but still smoother. Do I prefer CLoD map to RoF map? Probably. Do I prefer RoF to CLoD? Probably.

Webbed feet? No. But a few of these little beauties always help to break the ice.



Flying later? Yes please!!!
