ANSWERED Where is Fall textures for FTX Global?

[specialist]

I am using FTX Global and UTX USA version 2. The side of the roads in UTX looks sandy, I'm assuming because it's fall now here in the US, but the rest of FTX Global looks like summer in areas that should be fall. On the screenshot below I'm flying over KIAD using FLIGHTBEAM's Studio add on airport. You can see that the UTX roads pretty much matches the airport, but It still looks odd with UTX roads sticking out like a sore thumb with the sandy texture. Any ideas?

Well, I figured out that I needed to deactivate the encasement in UTX, but this doesn't resolve the issue with not having fall texture in FTX Global.

Hi Johnny,

 

that's not the fall season you're looking at but rather "mild winter" (= leaves off of deciduous trees, no snow on the ground). The default FSX/P3D ground textures for mild winter have that weird sandy hue and it looks like the UTX road skirting textures are meant to match those. Perhaps the UTX developers can supply alternate textures that better match FTX Global.

 Mild winter, not lately! I did speak to Allen from Flight1 and they will be working on matching the colors to match closer to FTX sometime next week. However, am I missing an add-on for Global that will give me fall or winter textures? I'm just using FTX Global base only at this time.

Hi Johnny,

 

nothing to worry, you do have all seasonal variants, it's simply the seasons selector in FSX that confuses everyone; see http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/88038-no-fall-in-seasons-ftx-sco-eng/
