This version fixed my stability issues in CFS3, the crashes seem to be gone now. I believe Ankor plans to redo the CFS3 reflections in the future, but it's a lower priority for the time being, for now they are simply disabled. I'm holding off on doing a lot of hex editing on the models until we see how it is in final form.

This one (10 Mar 14) fixes a memory leak when viewing the WOFF in-game map.

According to the thread over at Simhq it looks like he is adding reflection and bump mapping to the water!!! With the self-shadowing and now possibly improved water all I can say is wow!! I can't believe this is happening to CFS3.....
I've converted all of my installs to this standard, and I'm never going back.

Well, for me the water in CFS3 (eye candy wise) was its biggest let down, now if this and the self shadowing is working without problems, it's just a fantastic improvement!
I've not tried any of this stuff yet, but now I want to, does it work with XP, or is it W7 specific?

Keep it coming!
I don't know if it's been tried in XP, but it works well in Windows 7.
hoping win8.1 can also be utilized since in time it will be all plus .................
will try on mine this week from above posting on water looks excellent and makes this cfs3 a high valued sim
He has not released the water bump mapping version yet, but it could be soon.

Does anybody know how this works with Vista? Also. - does the latest version fix the transparent gauges so one doesn't need to edit things ?
Thanks
The Bf 109 shot shows some very promising shine too, if it's Windows 7 and a stock model there might be some hope of the speculars working. If they don't - XP, here we go again.
The shine works very well in Win7, has a very realistic feel to it and can be toned down as desired.
It turns out that there were very few models where the gauges were an issue. Since I had already modified those files I can't tell if they would still need to be repaired, but my guess is that it won't be an issued for you, and I can help you fix it if it is.

I did not understand everything and that does not seem to work under xp.
Another amazing water video from AnKor.
Unfortunately for us it looks like the first release of this capability will be for exclusive use in WOFF.

That looks really really good. Having read his post, I suspect we may be able to find a way around any compatibility issues with CFS3 on our end, but we'll just have to wait and see.
I've discovered one additional glitch with the current version of the self shadowing dll. This was a bit more difficult to diagnose since it didn't involve the M3D files this time. For the AvH 1% files there are some aircraft that reference panel lights in the effects section of the xpd file. The way the AvH effects are set up there is some sort of conflict with the new d3d8.dll that causes these to show up as a circle of colored light on the cockpit dash, or front windshield. All you have to do is edit out the panel light effect lines from the xpd and they're gone.
