  1. :shock: We have a problem for every solution:

    One ( and only) user in the UK complaints about the absence of snow in

    his area. I checked FS2002 with the original ground textures active

    and I can only agree with him.

    Almost no snow in the UK, see picture below.

    Question :

    :( The matter of snow or no snow is decided by the

    FS2002 engine and cannot be changed by hand or temperature.

    Is this true?

    Question :

    Would you like me to make changes in the ground textures of

    FScene-Europe resulting in lots of snow in Europe, even if

    there would be no snow by the FS2002 standards?

    (I could make a free Patch. It would be your responsibillity to use it

    or not though)

    This screenshot shows the FS2002 snow line in my PC (February):

  2. Hi Bill,

    since my files are replacements of the originals, you do not need

    to change anything. FS2002 decides the seasons.

    If you cannot wait to see things change, you can always

    change the season by hand in the top menu: World - Time&Season.

  3. Henrik,

    thanks for your interes in this matter.

    First a reply to:

    >>Does the fact that FScene textures show up in Africa mean that it will be impossible ever to make an FScene Africa package that doesn't conflict with the Europe package?<<

    It will be possible and I would love to make them.

    However, without a proper batch file, which I cannot make myself,

    the silly problem of the european ground textures in africa (or other places on the world) will remain.

    In usa and australia I could use some of the ''european" ones

    because they worked acceptable there.

    However if we can place such a switching *.bat file or even better a windows .exe file for free on the internet, the sky would be the limit.

    I am a -total blunt knife- in such matters and I cannot and will not use some other designer's program.

    I dream of getting into contact with a programmer who can make

    a good working 'switch program', preferably an .exe file.

    She or he will get all my projects for free as a reward.

    that's my reply, hope you can swallow it :wink:

  4. very good question,

    it will be possible but only with the

    textures I make for each coded bitmap.

    once I make a certain bitmap very good looking

    for europe, that same coded bitmap will always

    appear with my design.

    That's why the org. bitmaps are so 'flat' and can be used all over

    the world, causing among others many baseball fields around schiphol for instance.

    That's exactly where I started to make changes.

    If somebody is clever enough to make

    a small program to switch folders while

    flying in fs2002 maybe once upon a time I

    can make very very special textures for each part of the world.

    there is nothing more to say,

    so

  5. Hi,

    as a matter of fact I made textures for both normal winter,

    where the ground is visible with dark colors including trees and

    houses etc. - and hard winter where almost every piece of earth is

    covered with snow.

    If you fly over Holland you can see that in winter the country shows

    normal winter textures in the western part and hard winter ones in the east.

    FS2002 internally makes the instructions what texture tiles have to be used.

    Now you know the answer on question 2.

    thanks for your nice words,

  6. :)

    I would like to personally welcome all new members of the FScene Support Forum.

    Thanks for using one or more of the FScene projects and I do hope

    and trust these files increase your joy in being a virtual pilot.

    Being a designer more than a pilot myself, I am sure I will learn quite a lot from this Forum, which I will follow on a daily base.

    We all have to thank Rob de Vries "Holland_Holland" for being the

    founder as well as moderator of the Forum.

    :lol: Thanks Rob!

  7. Hi Shaun,

    i tried to react this morning already, but it seems i was not logged in Rob told me.

    It's all new to me and I have to thank rob for all the work he did to start this forum.

    The picture shows the FScene2002 factory building, for almost 2 years.

    You are the first to react on it.

    I did it just for the fun of it.
