The Cessna reminds me of the scene in The Final Countdown where the F-14 flies alongside the Zero inbound to Pearl Harbour. The look on that Japs face!!!

That's my favorite part of SH4 is the water effects! I spend more time watching my sub sail in free cam mode than carrying on with my mission!

Anyway, when you learn the ropes and get comfortable with the game get PE4 and enable it. It makes already good graphics a whole lot better! You can find PE4 here:

Good hunting!

Don't be shy, Syxx. Post some of your PE screens. I'm curious how they look. I've been using the original ROW because I prefer the variety of the water colors of ROW instead of just the blue/purple of PE. I found the blue to also give a blue/purple cast to the rest of the scene, making even the subs a light blue/purple...this is one of Kriller's recent shots to illustrate the point...

and here's one of my shots using ROW from a year ago showing the different hues and colors and the three dimensional quality.

When the whole shot takes on the same hue it seems like you also lose some of the three dimensional pop and in some scenes it's like the scale is also affected. I've looked through this thread and other PE threads and although most shots seem to be taken in low light making it difficult to compare, those that are taken in daylight have that sameness of hue and lack of dimensionality. As far as the wave effects go, I don't see anything different than the state of the art a year ago with ROW. If anything they seem to have less volume and the reflections from the ships and land and special effects seem to be off. I've already talked about the real colors of Luzon, Sea of Japan, Okinawa, Korea, Vietnam, etc. so I won't belabor the point. For those who have been in that area of the world the vivid blue is unusual and not the norm...

Sea of Japan

USS Kittyhawk, Yokosuka, Japan

Hino-masaki, Japan

Midway Atoll

Mindoro Island, off the southern coast of Luzon

And just to show you that the Pacific Ocean doesn't have a lock on vivid blue, here's the Teddy R. and company steaming in the Atlantic...

kriller2 · 11-23-08, 03:45 PM

No thats a very old photo you have there Reno

the photo was taken as work in progress, here is the newest from my work on PE4.1, but right now im working with W_clear

By the way who do you think decided in which colour the ocean and sky should be in ROW and made the textures ?

Task Force · 11-23-08, 04:03 PM

Looking very good Kriller.
