Water Effect Setting in FSX
Panji over on Digital Contrail has posted an informative comparison of the various Water settings in Flight Simulator X, along with screenshots of the various settings.
If you’re looking for that optimum setting for your rig, take a look. Interestingly, the very lowest setting (other than None) looks to provide the best performance/appearance compromise, if you’re prepared to give up reflections.
On the subject of water, X-Plane’s new reflective water is coming along well and looks superb, with much less of a performance hit than you get with FSX. I’ll be posting a full review of X-Plane 9 soon.

I was woundering if someone would be able to give a rough timeframe of when SP2/DirectX10 patch for FSX will be out
cheers
Hi,
There’s a DX10 update of sorts included with the Acceleration package, although I don’t believe it’s the “final” implementation.
We’re still waiting for news on SP2.

Hi Mark, great site you have here. Thanks for the link.
Hi Rohit Koul Gupta,
about SP2 you could always check FSX official site, fsinsider.com. I read there is a delay in SP2 launch, written by Phil Taylor on http://blogs.msdn.com/ptaylor/archive/2007/11/21/more-on-fsx-sp2-dx10-delay-factors.aspx
Before that post, SP2 was promised to be available on the end of ‘07.
so let’s wait together
