BeaverDriver Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Ok folks, I really need someone to tell me what I have set wrong here ! I was about to start a flight today out of Parry Sound (CNK4 - Payware version), which itself seems ok, but the surrounding terrain is covered in snow. I'm using today's date (22/May/16) and ASN for weather (the weather there today is sunny and about 20*C). However, a very large swath of Central Ontario is covered in snow despite the temps and time of year. Please see the screen shot that follows (note that North is facing right - see tags on image). Now, I have FTX Global enabled, I do NOT have Hybrid mode enabled, and the option for ice is DEselected in FTX Central. That swath of snow covers all the way over to Ottawa from near Sault Ste. Mare as far as I can tell (and some sporadic other locales as you can see). So, either I have something set incorrectly, or there is something going on with the environment that Orbx has some "inside information" on but isn't telling us; the upshot being that we should be buying stock in the oil producers . Thanks for your help! Glenn ("of the North" ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeaverDriver Posted May 22, 2016 Author Share Posted May 22, 2016 Oh yeah, I've got OpenLC Canada/Alaska as well, FWIW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeaverDriver Posted May 22, 2016 Author Share Posted May 22, 2016 OK, problem solved. I had saved my default flight with ASN weather loaded from the winter. So when FSX booted up, it loaded the appropriate textures for that weather and the updated weather didn't clear them (and maybe it was I just didn't wait long enough). Anyway, I have resaved my default flight after first clearing all weather from FSX, then rebooted the sim. All is as it should be now. Hopefully that helps someone else in case they should run into a similar situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried it and now no snow, just the beautiful scenery with Summer textures. Next time I am in Canada Glenn, I will buy you a beer, many thanks. How good are these forums, a quick search and this problem has been solved! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
