OR-Flickering Water

[ftldave]

As I suggested in post #6... uncheck the model instancing found under video tab in your options.

Sorry to say, model instancing on/off had no effect on the flashing water in Sea View Island, with OR 1.2. It occurs during train or camera movement. FYI, I've got an NVidia GT 760 video card in my sim pc.

For the sake of test, I tried another favorite island route, Pentecosta 4.1, and saw the same anomalies in it as well, the sea water flickering during any train/camera movement.

Are you looking for an answer to "flashing' or "flickering" ?.... two entirely different things!!

You're right that "flickering", as the OP called it, is probably the more accurate description. Load Sea View Island in OR, and take a look at the water. I expect you'll quickly see what we're talking about.

Sea View Island ?... I have the Seaview5 route (plus update) which I believe was the last release and is the route that showed me the technique of making realistic water. I honestly can't recall ever seeing flashing or flickering water in that route. I'll check it out tomorrow.

My tests were in Seaview5 with patch installed, the same.

Alrighty... I unstored Seaview5, took a little run from the Bigfoot station and I soon saw what you describe. I had a look at the ENV file and decided to swap it out with one from my own route... the flashing and flickering is no more. I would suggest that you swap it out with one that you like from another route that you know works.

Just a thought, so please don't be angry but can't OR replace route supplied water with it's own. I mean they already did it for the skies although the results aren't as pretty as msts. At least the flickering problem will be gone. Flickering on computer display is very bad for the eyes.
