Is it real or is it....?
Posts: 15
I have FSX Deluxe. After installing the SP1 patch, I no-longer have version
2.x water...only version 1 (to clarify, I had version 2.x before). Water is
set to 2.x High and is giving me 1.x med (blue mesh with shadows/sun reflection but no bump map, etc.). Again, it worked before the
update. Thanks for your help!

Try SP2, it will help you in a lot of other ways too.
I also had this problem after installing SP1, but then I installed SP2 and it worked (this was after a fresh re-install, and I had forgotten to install SP2).

You know, I tried SP2 but I got an error on startup (FSX) about my GPU not supporting shader 2 (which isn't true, it supports shader 3). Someone told me this was because my card uses software shader 3 instead of hardware shader 3 or something...... I don't know, but there you go. I'd love to be able to get another video card but I can't unless I get a new computer... and it did work before..... Anyway, thanks!

Its your video adaper
its a software hack and you cant use it for the advanced shader features in FSX Sp1/2.. FSX will block the DX API if it does not read the right flags do the probelm is your hardware
