Hiya Tazzharm and welcome to Com Central

To upload a pic, please resize it down first to 800x600. On the reply post, there is a 'add attachment' feature. Upload the pic there. Smile

My first thoughts on your water...

1) Did this happen all of a sudden?

2) Was it this way by default?

3) Did you add/change any new scenery?

4) Did you update your video card drivers recently?

Usually, if you think back, it's something to do with that last thing you did or installed. Smile

Yep, I would try reinstalling the game, that may fix the issue. If it doesn't, try looking into the textures used for the water. You may find the answer there. Wink

It may be a setting or if you're flying in a particular season, I.E. winter, summer, it may call for different water colors

You may have to go into the texture folder to see what the water textures look like. If the names of the textures don't make sense, you may have to get deeper into the .config file and see how the water is referenced there. Smile

I have even went as far as quick mission and ensured summer to see any difference and none.
the only way I know I'm over water is because I see boats.
It's not allowing me to upload pics for somereason.
i tried a download max water effects and still nothing.

Image quality at max
I have everything running great during game but water.
hope this helps..
thank you very much .

well I found out through others that the HD 3800 series of ati cards are not compatible with any of the cfs games.
so Uninstalled and wait for either newer version of cfs or just stick to other games

Glad you found out what it was, but ATI drivers/card was the issue? OUCH...that sucks.

I've been running Nvidea for so long that I didn't think about the actual card manufacturer not supporting some games. Odd that ATI doesn't support a MS game. Shocked MS is one company you would think they would make sure and support...lol

How about IL2 1946, have you tried it?

You could always try 'Maxtweaks' I think there's a blue water effect in there.
Available in the download section.

But like Bush says IL2 1946 is the way to go. Smile

Post subject: Re: grey water no blue anywhere

Well I hate to join this discussion late but I just thought I'd point out that the advice about ATI 3800 series cards not working with CFS games or CFS3 is just flat dead wrong. My ATI 3870 works just fine.

Woops I stand corrected. Took another gander at it and see what ya mean. Running an ATI 4870 card here. Definitely looks like forest textures under grey fog, instead of blue water. Or...it's algea, yeah, that's what it is....

I think the Spits will splash into it just fine anyways Smile

Has you tried different vid drivers for that card? I haven't had much experience with ATI as I tend to stay with NVidea, but I've seen issues similar to that in other games with NVidea and a different driver had different results and yes, at times fixed the issues. Smile
