Take the animated folder along with the foam texture inside and put it in your water folder in mapmods/maps/_tex/water . Ta Da!!! :)

 :(     :(     :-[    :'(

No dear SAS~Bombsaway, it is not so simple .... for example, I had before a NVidia 64bit card , I had installed the game in the 32bit x86 programs and the 3D and the foam effect not work  until I moved the whole  Il2 program in the  programs 64bit folder! Now I have bought a new computer, I have now a Nvidia GTX 660 I've reinstalled the game, I moved to the 64bit program folder and the 3D effect does not work again ... the setting is maximum and in "perfect mode" and  in "water 4" but the water now is absolutely flat and without foam ... as you can see there is something that blocks the function of 3D ... go figure!

I'm not sure then about your problems. I installed it just as I said and it works. Must be with your hardware. Maybe post in the tech help hardware section.

When you copy the new 'animated' folder into your _Tex/water folder, be careful not to copy OVER the existing folder. It is better to rename the existing 'animated' folder into something else, say for instance '-animated' ... then copy the new animated folder into the water folder, so that it contains nothing but the new files.

If you start to copy/replace, then perhaps some extra files may be left from the old water type and they might just conceivably mess things up ... you never know.

This might not be the cause of your problems, but better to check anyway ...

I think you need to install your IL-2 outside programs folder.
I have mine in the main folder of my hd (C:\il 2 sturmovik 1946).

That's what I do, I have 2 drives. so the Il-2 folder is on another drive. It is DBW.

I am trying lots of things, let's hope it works.

This is fantastic.
   I have finally managed to get this to work on my rig. I found that if I lower the settings in the config file I get a much more realistic wave foam. WATER=2 effects=1. I guess its best to mess around with this till you get it to suit.

ATI water=2 = perfect water
nVidia water=4 = perfect water

so...

ATI water=2 = nVidia water=4
