I am using the pactex package with the included water textures.
Nothing makes a wake...what am I missing?

There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

What are you missing?
Answer: How wakes work. :ernae:
Wakes are Effects called-up in the DP files of individual ships. They are unrelated to which 'texture-of-the-week' you are using for the water.
As you can see below in the [EXTRAS] section the Effect fx_wake_s is being called to appear at 0 meters l/r of CG, 0 meters h/l of CG and 21 meters forward of CG.
[PAYLOADS]
payload.0=%payload_name.0%
payload.1=%payload_name.1%
[PAYLOAD.0]
[PAYLOAD.1]
; Payload = Torpedoes
mount.0=MK10, 12, -1
[EXTRA.0]
location=0.0,0.0,21.0
effect=fx_wake_s
[MISC_DATA]
unit_family=5
category=18
allegiance=1
min_speed=0
cruise_speed=12
max_speed=18
entered_service=12/1/41
//min_alt=0
//cruise_alt=0
//max_alt=2
If you are not seeing wakes, make sure that you have them specified in your DP, and then that they are properly positioned. For example, you might not have any effect specified, the effect specified may not be in your Effects folder or the effect may be positioned improperly for viewing in your water 'texture-of-the-week'....i.e. the wake may be below the surface of this particular texture.
