Er!k Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Hello, Today did a short flight in FSX from EKCH to EDDF. In flight I saw the following: This does not look normal?! Further on the flight the blend was much better, but this area is horrible Is this a bug? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KVSandleben Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 What you are seeing weather related textures. Whenever the actual weather setting for an area has snow fall, then these textures are rendered to represent that. There were massive snowfalls in Lower-Saxony today, so that is what you are seeing.

If I am not mistaken, the actual weather is not reflected by the ground textures. They are arbitrary set according to a table of geographic coordinates and months of the year. Only the actual clouds and precipitation could be seen with the proper engine. 2 hours ago, Er!k said: Hello, Today did a short flight in FSX from EKCH to EDDF.

With Global only or Global with OpenLC EU I don't see any snow on November, 8th 2016 at these coordinates and if there was some I think would be better blended. Unfortunately, I don't see why you see that. Have you done the migration diagnostic ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Er!k Posted November 8, 2016 Author Share Posted November 8, 2016 I only have FTX Global, the ORBX libraries and ESSA. Further no other add-ons like Vector or UTX. For the weather I use AS2016 with ASCA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dominique Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Erik, go to your OrbX folder within the sim main folder, you have a troubleshooter sub-folder with a troubleshooter.exe in it. Run it. It will open a DOS window. Does it say whether Global miss files or not ? Also, you are with Central 2 or the new Central 3 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dominique Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Ok, good , no problemhere, in some case the migration went awry with some users and some textures missing. But I cannot go further than that as an user. It seems weird looking to me anyway. Maybe one of the not so terrific Landclass calls that the default does all over the world. Remember Global gives you the textures only but does not place them where they belong. For that you need either OpenLC EU or the Northern Germany Region.

Er!k Posted November 8, 2016 Author Share Posted November 8, 2016 Thanks for your help so far! Let's hope someone from the ORBX team chimes in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holger Sandmann Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Hi guys, Karsten's answer was the correct one. It's been hard-coded in FSX/P3D since release that active snowfall will force landclass ground textures (but not photoreal bgl files!) to dynamically switch to their corresponding "hard winter" variant, regardless of what the seasons control file wants the local season to be. Even in mid-summer, if you select the "Winter Wonderland" weather theme, for example, you'll see this change-over. Unfortunately, there's no blending at all between texture tiles, hence the sharp edges and checkerboard pattern. If this happens again, and you want to keep the current weather, then the best approach is to select the Scenery Library menu and click on OK, which will force all of the hard-winter textures to be loaded right away, sparing you the strange tiling. Cheers, Holger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
