+ you have an additional voronoi kind of specularity on each surface depending on the deepness
Caustics. Yes, that would provide a better feeling of depth.

will you add some kind of small wobbling for the camera?
Probably for FPS views, but at the moment there's also no wobbling of terrain/objects under water when viewed from above.

I like physical nearly correct approximations. Give them small green particles and it will look awesome.
Those will be probably white, with color changed by attenuation in water :)

if you want i'll build some ruins for placing them on the ground of the atlantic ocean (just an easteregg)
Probably there will be no lighting, but some one else will build a simple submarine with some spotlights :P
think about it ^^

Yes, or there could be a ruin generator that will generate and place the ruins to multiple places. Still, it would be almost impossible to find. On the land with high visibility you hardly can find anything, I cannot imagine what it would be like under sea ..

It would be nice to be able to detect such underwater structures by telemetry from a satellite imagery. Or to be able to use boats / airplanes with dragged under surface sonar buoys to map up the underwater terrain.

Nice treasure hunt missions could be imagined. With such a big world it's really interesting to  use a multiplayer mode with like 100 ships to cover a bigger search area with sonar. The GPS coordinates are used for the approximate position only with a let's say 10 x 10 km area to be searched.

Maybe a hunt for the Loch Ness Monster?

The screenshots are beautiful as usual. :)

To be honest, it's really out of their control- all about when they get drivers that work from AMD.

...or they find code issues made by themselves.. in both cases you will have to wait.

To begin with congratulations, great job done so far.
It's really insane and promising as work on your 3D engine. :)
Here is my question on underwater submarine.
 
Is your engine manages marine currents, and what influence it can have on different types of materials or objects.
Example: piece of wood, seaweed, liquid (oil), animals or humans caught in its currents.

No, it doesn't simulate the currents, in fact there's no physics for the water yet. First thing, after the buoyancy, will be a proper reaction to waves.

I'm really unsure about the currents, but just recently I've read that crocodiles swam the Atlantic to reach America, probably carried away by ocean currents, so there's something to it :)
