reported ugly rivers

[AKULA_OPTIMUS]

Pretty much what the tittle says. Transparent water looks very nice, but the bottom of rivers and lakes are awful.

We are looking at improving rivers in DCS overall in the future, but currently not much can be done.

I got it, but dont forget about the floating bridge in that location:lookaround:

It's like a silty surface 10 feet below the water level.

 

In the first mission I threw together I sunk a ship on the Sea of Galilee, and did an F9 view to watch it sink.

 

It slowly slipped down and then passed the silt below the surface. Odd...

Yeah thats a global issue, not a Syria one.

Update required as its currently a bit of an eyesore - is this an ED issue or Urga.

 

Surely reducing transparency on water will resolve to some extent?  Again is this an ED fix or Urga?

 

We need to get this resolved its a total immersion killer and ruins the Syria map.  This is not an issue on PG, Caucasus, Channel, Normandy - so what is different here?

 

Lakes and inland seas need to be blue - and along the sea coastlines, not this brown colour.  Its pretty shocking given all the hard work you put into the maps that this texture has remained.

Agreed. The water is a significant detractor from this great map.

It is not a global issue though, go fly in PG or Caucasus. No issue with the water like in Syria.

 

Also, as shown with the pictures in the Mariana map, the coastline/water technology has gotten a significant update in the TDK (terrain development kit). These new features are also available to third parties according to BN, so it is up to Ugra to start utilising these to fix the issues with water in the Syria map.

Video illustration.

 

Notably, this does not occur on Caucasus (or other maps), as can be seen in this screenshot of the river in Batumi:

While some improvements could still be made to some shallow river areas (particularly Euphrates near Raqqa), overall this bug has been fixed in the latest release of DCS (2.7.2).

I believe this thread can be marked as 'resolved' now.
