Jack Sawyer Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Just bought and installed, it looks wonderful in the snow but I saw some anomalies, maybe they are maybe they aren't. Is the plane supposed to sink into the snow like this? If so then no problem. What are these colorful spots on the ground? Also here. Thanks for yet another very nice area, I look forward to exploring here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregmorin Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Great shots Jack! I think it depends on how frozen the plowed snow is. Fresh snow would not support an aircraft. Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traveller Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Very watchful you Jack. Maybe Heigi will answer your questions. I like to fly around because it is full of mountains and the landings and takeoffs are challenging. Great shots mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

renault Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 I am impressed with how crisp and clear the rendering is in these shots. It really does bring home the often posted comment(s) I have often seen on other forums that the antialiasing in XPlane appears to be "broken" or only working partially and has been that way for quite some time.

TigerTigerM Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Nice set Jack. I think the aircraft do "sink" in soft snow. I know I found that at Kiruna. The green & red patches - not sure. If all green I would suggest undergrowth showing through thin snow. What about recreating patch the shot in, say, Summer, [no snow] TTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stillwater Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Oh what a fantastic snow! And the village looks so real (despite the green chemical fluid on the ground, or may it be Absinth?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NineMile41 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I did what you ask but even in the winter I had no problem. I would try downloading it again I tried 3 times. Their download was slow like a turtle. I have 120Mb and I was getting 340Kb. So delete it and download again. Here are some pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NineMile41 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I did another test and the artifacts are showing on my system just like yours. Still no sinking in the snow. I took another look at your pictures and I noticed that the snow around terminal is not white it looks like a dark shadow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
