Too high water transparency

[Tomcat-Flyer]

In my opinion the current water transparency watervisibility is too high, as you can see in the screenshot below.

 

In real-life you couldn't even see the fuselage of the ship a few feet below the water surface.

I hope ED will change the transparency visibility soon, so that DCS gets another step closer to what real life looks like.

Yes, but you meant water transparency

@Tomcat-Flyer You're right. And so is Draconus. Maybe you want to edit your thread title to make it a bit clearer and more people may support your wish.

I've found out, how to change the water transparency:

In the 'DCS World\Mods\terrains\Caucasus\terrain.cfg.lua' you can set a value for 'seaOpacity', in my case I've used 10 for instance. This gives you this output.

Sadly there is no way to change this parameter in the Marianas file, since it is crypted (I don't own other maps so I don't know about theirs).

nullAccording to the '2023 AND BEYOND' video it seems ED satisfies my wish:

Transparency is still too high, it freaks me out in VR, to see this much of the underside of ships
