Drag & drop in Community Folder & enjoy !
Hello everyone !
After almost 20hours of work, headaches & multiple coffees, I'm proud to give you in a BETA version, a watermask made to enhance your overall experience when flying both IFR/VFR around Corfu/LGKF. My goal with this addon is to provide a medium-to-high quality watermask all around the beautiful island of Corfu, in order to make the sea enjoyable, and more true-to-life ! This is the very first addon I'm making for MSFS, and I already know there is some areas that have to be improved, and I will. I'm sharing this project because you can already enjoy it when you're up-there in the skies, you will only notice those smalls glitches when going up close ! So, if you have any criticizm, comments or anything to share in order to help me, do it, I'll love to improve myself :)
Due to the lack of documentation by Asobo, the process of making watermasks is very very very time consumming, if you want to do it well, so I apologize if updates can't be day-to-day, but I'll do my best, and may create a discord server to let y'all know what's I'm busy in !

This mod is compatible with :
- FlyTampa's LGKR + freeware version of LGKR
Many thanks to those people, without them, It wouldn't have been possible :
- @superspud, and his lovely documentations about the SDK, Project editor, Blender...
- FredericoPonti on youtube, for his truly usefull tutorials
- OldGamesItalia on youtube, for his tutorials about basic scenery creations
By the way, If you would like some watermasks near your favorite places, do not hesitate to request them, I'll try to have a look at them asap (only if Bing/MSFS provide great imagery).
If needed, I can help you in English//French, so... have a good day, and see you in the sky !

I just tested it. It is fantastic. Is there any tutorial about how to make it? I would love to jump on board building watermasks.
1 years ago
The only tutorial I used back in the time is now completely outdated. Now I'm using the knowledge I've gathered, as the SDK evolved a lot

Beautiful addition. But there are a couple of issues which should be addressed. I know you are working on the flickering issue. That is one. The other one is that I found what looks like a cursor reticle of some 3d/texture program embedded in one of the texture files. I investigated a bit for you. It's in the NORDE.PNG.DDS file. It doesn't show up very clearly if you see both the alpha channel and the color channels. But if you disable alpha channel, it should be visible very clearly. Not attaching any screenshot of the file in its entirety as this is your creation but sharing a screen shot of part of it and one from the sim.

Thank you so much for your feedback ! I completely missed this one... I'll update the watermask and make sure it's gone. Also I found some ways to reduce flickering with my Ibiza watermask, so I'll try to apply this to Corfu ASAP.
Happy Christmas and thank you for your support :)

This is amazing! I have yet to check it out but does it still preserve the water movements/waves in the sim?
1 years ago
At the moment, yes. I'm still investigating, but I dont have enough times these days with University etc... But be sure I'm trying my best to find an answer to this issue :)

Is your mod compatible with su 11?
And further, you say: "Add some ships, animals, custom roads, people, close to the airport, to make it even more alive!" I wonder, what people and animals have you added and where to find them in Corfu?
Otherwise
Many thanks for your contribution!

Yes it is ! And the "Add some ships [...]", is on the roadmap ;)

Very nice! I am using the freeware version.
Do i need to install v1.3 ??
2 years ago
Hello ! It should be working well, but I need to do further in-game test to know if its works well without LGKR from FlyTampa :)
If the 1.3 version doesn't work well with the freeware version, please let me know !

Hello everyone !
Quick heads-up regarding the flickering issue happening on every watermask :
As always, thank you for your support and your feedback, it really helps me ! <3
2 years ago
Hugo_Jeu
Great work so far! The problem with those watermasks is the flickering depends on angle of view and distance! Same goes for Ibiza and Palermo.
2 years ago
Thank you for the feedback ! I'm actually testing various things that could definitely fix the flickering. I'm also trying to test most common angles when adjusting the elevation of watermask, but can't try every possible one sadly...
I'm trying my best to fix this ASAP, & thx for your support <3

Thanks.

Hello ! Thank you for the feedback :)
I'm actually updating the freeware version to adapt to the changes I made yesterday on the Main version. I'll try to push it ASAP and will have a particular look at your issue.
