Problems with snow and ground texture.

[ctroncy]

Bonjour,
Could anybody help me to understand how the snow on ground is managed.

1 Take off runway 18R KMCO in winter.
Weather injection using different products (AS for P3DV4)


As you can see no snow on the ground, no snow on the runway.


2 Start rolling on the runway.
Some patches of tiles with snow appears.



3 Load terrain data using the scenery menu .
Everything is OK with snow texture for the grass and the runway.


Do we have to reload terrain data each time the weather change ?

Merci
Cheers
Claude

Hello,
falling snow is managed just as you see it, not very well, but there is nothing wrong with the simulator.

Thank you Nick for your clarification.
I was about to ask the same question on the ORBX forum, but I guess I will get the same answer.

Anyway, this behavior is not great and during the take off roll the "snow tiles" popup is very disturbing.
But it is only a simulator.
Cheers

Be sure you have Orbx Vector water option "frozen surface in winter" turned off. This you will hear from their forum as well.

Hi Dan,

Thanks for your answer.
Yes I have "frozen surface in winter" turned off, and also I disabled all my addon to narrow the problem.
So I'll never know what is the reason of this behavior. There is certainly an explication.

Sometimes I wonder if flight simulation hobby is for me. Now with the problem of dynamic light I cannot fly the 737 NGX at night. Unfortunately there is no way to come back to the old light system for PMDG.
And that's only a part of issues. Clouds and snow, kills my 1080 which is running at 100% if I want a not to bad AA.
The only advantage is that it heats the room.

Anyway, thank you Dan for your answer.
Cheer
