New ocean waves for FS9
(Turn on word wrap in Notepad)

Hi all,

I made these as a first effort in making the ocean waves smaller and more realistic in FS:COF. 
This pack was inspired by the terrific new reflections made by Lynn and Bill Lyons from the Golden Eagles Squadron (FS9Wat.zip).
 
You will need a DirectX 8.1 compatible graphics adapter to enable the high detail effect for water and use these files.

Three different bmps are included: a medium wave one, a small wave one and a high res version.
The New York screenie was made using the "medium" texture, while the Hawaii one is using the "small" wave texture. You should try the two out and see which suits you best, I think the small one will fit the needs of most people.
I also included a high-res one (1024x1024) for people with higher-end systems. There isn't a big difference though.

Have fun!
Any comments are welcome.

-Daniel

Installation:  

Please make a backup copy of the file "OceanHeightField.bmp" located under X:\...\Flight Simulator 9\texture first.
Then move the desired replacement file into that folder.

Known issues: 
The files don't tile perfectly yet, I might fix that some time. But I think the original files didn't tile well either.
