Chann Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Any ideas as to why I am getting white areas where my Orbx airfields should be? Please see the lower image. I have uninstalled and reinstalled - just the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chann Posted January 22, 2021 Author Share Posted January 22, 2021 Looking closer It seems my Orbx (alone) areas have snow. Is that correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wain71 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 where are these shots? Orbx has snow in certain areas between specific dates unless you have TE installed, also some airports DON'T do snow.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airports are listed in the above graphic. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wain71 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 to me it looks like the area around the specific airport is in winter mode, I remember asking Nick about this last year when I bought TE but can't find his reply..hopefully he will come along soon......

carlosqr Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 True Earth is only summer, so you have to put each one of your England airports in summer mode too. Not sure if in Central each airport has in the control panel an option to set it as summer you may check while Nick replies as stated by Wain If I find the post I'll paste it here PS you can also select summer in your sim so all airports will match True Earth season Cheers Carlos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For now I have uninstalled TE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Hello, the airports change to lying snow in "hard winter". This is to allow for the idea created by Microsoft that the UK is white in January and February. I can't find my post either, bit it is around 67 years since the whole of the UK was snow covered, here is one interesting article: https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/learn-about/weather/case-studies/severe-winters As stated, the True Earth products do not change to white in "Hard Winter" but then nor does the real world. The easiest way to more closely replicate the real world is to set the simulator back to December or forward to March and all the textures will then match. Otherwise, you can keep the two airports developed for Orbx by Gaya, EGNX and EGPH, because they do not have the white seasonal ground textures.

Thanks Nick I have currently uninstalled TE for GB south, probably a backward step but at present I am conducting mainly IFR flying and the EU regions are good for that.
