FS 2004 More Waves II
by Luiz Alvarenga.
******************************************************************************************
This is a new effect to improve the visual of the waves along the coast.
I always desliked the "shy" way sea waves looked like in FS. For this reason, the idea of Sascha Rieger (realwave.zip), improving coast surfing was excellent.
I've tried to balance the movement and sight of the waves based on two points:
- To have more than a single line of breakers reaching the beach, like the ones we have mostly in S. America east coast.
- To have an acceptable sight in the waves of lakes and other coastal places where the FS runs a lighter kind of surf.
If the result is not so bad, it certainly can be improved...and that's the beauty of the way continuous improvement works...

NOTE ON VERSION II: The wave counterflow was improved to be more visible/real. Waves speed is now a little bit slower and the surf movement sequence balanced to look more natural.

INSTALLATION:

1. Backup the original FS files fx_waves.fx (in the "Effects" folder) and fx_swoosh.bmp and fx_swoosh2.bmp (in the Effects/Texture folder)
2. Replace these files by the ones supplied.
3. That's all!


Be happy. Fly!
