FS9 Winter textures (Landclass)

Post by VulcanDriver »

Hi Guys

I'm somewhat perplexed. I go to a default airfield in winter and its covered in snow, but the surrounding area is green. I've read that FS9 and FSX doesn't update all of its landclass to match the seasons, this may explain this. Firstly is it true. Secondly can someone who has the FS9 default scenery for Norway (no add on landclass etc) please go to ENAN and tell me what you see outside of the airfield during the winter season.

TIA
John

It depends on what you mean by "winter" John. Attached is the result for ENAN for the 1 Feb at 11:40, which I think is "hard winter". Winter actually starts on the 22 December, which presumably the standard "winter". I can't get a daylight screen shot of that time because it's dark all day that far north. I'm not sure when "hard winter" kicks in.

Hi John that's what I'm seeing too. I need to change the position of some objects as they show being snow covered in the green areas. Means they stand out like a sore thumb.

Cheers
John
