ArzaanK Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I am having problems with FTX Australia which I just purchased. From satellite photos, as well as streams I have seen, the area in south Australia is very green. However, it seems that a lot of my green textures have been replaced by brown ones. Here is an overhead screenshot from Melbourne. Looking in Google Earth, the real area around YMML does not look like this. Also, from a few videos/streams I've seen, others have the green textures while I do not. Here is what I have tried to resolve the issue. I also have this issue in the entire "BLUE" area of Australia (that is the only area I've seen). 1. Reinstall of FTX Australia 2. Reinstall ORBX Base 3. Delete scenery.cfg and let P3D recreate. Then, open FTX Central and let it add in my scenery 4. Force migration of unified lockup. However, the issue still persists. What can I do to fix it?

Nick Cooper Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Hello, please try it again in Winter. Google Earth doesn't have seasons. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have my scenery set to default to the current date. Is the area supposed to be more green in Winter (June, July, August)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I think you will find that it is, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArzaanK Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share Posted March 9, 2018 Here is a screenshot from Winter. Looks much better. I'm scratching my head to wonder why the textures are greener during the winter and not the summer. Seems to defy logic a bit. However, with that said, I used to have an issue where my textures were super brown in the Winter in North America and Winter and normal in the summer. I had to reinstall Base to fix the issue (I updated the scenery when I moved from P3Dv4 to 4.1). Could anyone with FTX AU load up at or near Melbourne on todays date and show me an aerial shot just to confirm that my scenery looks right?

Nick Cooper Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 How about it doesn't rain in summer and everything dries up and goes brown before the winter rain returns to make it all green again? Mine looks just the same as yours. Even Bing maps shows you that it is not always the same. Zoom in a bit and... of course, Bing satellite imagery might be wrong as well.

ArzaanK Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share Posted March 9, 2018 I see. I guess I'm just used to living where Winter = brown and Summer = green. Thanks for the help! Maybe the steamers I was watching had their sims set to the Winter time by default then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petfy Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Nick is correct - in southern Australia, no rain in summer and rain in winter ( a place of droughts and flooding rain - from a well known poem). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
