I was just browsing through Flight1's stuff and this caught my eye.

Can you really see a difference in the water textures? I can't. And I personally don't see shelling out however much this is for it. Roll Eyes

From what my gut instincts tell me, it's not worth it if the difference is nowhere near significant.

I have it, and it's an okay product:)
You get plenty of different water textures of your choice, aswell as new sky texture (which is the best feature in the whole package IMO Grin

)

Nicholas, so what you are saying is that you can choose different water textures and sky from a stand alone program?

Yeah, just run FSwater before you launch FS9 and the program will automaticly load the textures you've selected

Very similar to FS Sky's program!

Is the FS Water worth it?

Seeing as how the biggest problem with water textures is getting to them mimic and match the adjacent sky (which by the way is something water really does) I'd say being able to choose both would allow for some of the most realixtic combinations yet. I might consider this one.
