How to make river fords visible ?
« on: June 05, 2017, 02:12:45 PM »

There are areas on Il-2 maps where country roads cross the smaler rivers without bridges.
 Nevertheless, the vehicles freely cross these rivers, which is OK, because there were river fords on such places.
The only drawback is that the fords are not visualised in rivers.
I tried to use approach of shallow water, use small pieces of the SeaShore texture to make surf, but did not succeeded.
Are there any ideas how ro make fords visible from the flight, please ?

EDIT:
Well, it looks like the problem is solved, as it can be seen on the pictuire of river on  Irkutsk map:

There are also other opinions on the colour of the ford - more to green:



Which do you prefer? Your opinion is interesting to me.
And here is the object,

https://www.mediafire.com/file/c9zb23ae3yyckx1/4.7z

should be put into the folder:

3do/airfield/

and add2static_ini:

[buildings.Plate$myFord]
Title           myFord
Mesh            3do/airfield/myFord/AirfieldS/mono.sim

IMHO, "green" solution looks more natural. At least on the screenshot.

Yes, I think that the last  (green) option is way more realistic !
