I’m sitting at KaiTak and the water ironically looks like a 400 mph tsunami coming in. Then, all of a sudden the surface texture switches direction or begins to moves at a normal 1-2 mph pace.

When coming in for a landing some place, quite often the water surface is moving super fast at weird directions busting the illusion entirely.

Yep – when I post pics to the dev blog I rarely bother to do things like:
* turn on anti-aliasing
* get rid of debug art assets and experimental stuff
* hide whatever the hell datarefs are on the screen…
The pics are really supposed to be “this is what we’re working on” not “this is what you will see when you fly”.
