Waves too big

Exactly what I was trying to say in my first post.

In the game it looks more like this - cliffs a few feet high:

This one demonstrates PERFECTLY the current state.

That is actually the cliffs of Dover, if you look closely you can see in the middle at the base of the cliff where a house has fell in from coastal errosion...

I don't live nowhere near the channel, but I'am on a region of very strong winds, and the sea on CloD looks like a day with strong winds. Not a stormy one, but strong enough to generate waves and make them show their white crests.

On calm days those crests only show near the shore, never on high waters.

Maybe the normal weather set on CloD is of strong winds, but I have made a landing on that conditions on a small plane, and it was a hell of an experience. Wind that generates that amount of white crest, made take off and landing a tough experience. It is not like that in game with our vivid water, with almost storm like waves.

I kept on thinking something was wrong that made me feel like I wasn't flying high altitude and now I see it's the waves that are far to big. That defiantly needs looking at because it also makes the cliffs look small. The other thing that really bugs me is how they have placed the houses so close to the sea, I just hope the owners have got flood insurance.

I agree, the wave crests must be huge compared to ships and planes. I can see individual crests from 12000 feet but can't spot a formation of bombers a couple of thousand feet below.

In fact, the inability to spot planes Is the single most annoying thing for me.

Oh well....

Oh, no. Please dont change it. I like waves from CoD.

I think we are nit picking now

Seriously, bought CLOD on day one and still this sim has the best looking, most realistic water or sea in any flight sim to date IMHO.

Nobody is nit picking and nobody is saying that the water isn't the best looking. They are saying the waves are to big and it makes the altitude look wrong. Think of a road and now place a toy car in the middle of the road...Now do you see what they mean? The road won't change if you shrink the road to make the toy car look realistic. Nobody is on about changing the waves, they are on about shrinking them. This would then make the cliffs look as large as they are suppose to and the ships look the right size. I'm sure if they change it you will like it a lot better.
