Early Snow in Fall here in Alaska...

This is real downloaded weather today at McLeland Field...So I tried out the REP feature of snow settling on the taxiways etc. Here are a few shots to show the snow on the concrete:-

Naturally the trees have not yet changed to their Winter textures as it is not yet Winter officially here in FS.

Thanks for looking :dance:

Slightly more complex then a Cessna Citation

Peter,

God shots, but how do you get the sunshine shadows and the snow ?

Dregsy,

Yes, it would be nice to see the shadow diminished or even hidden by an "Overcast" :think:
Sadly, that is an FS9 bug

Hi Peter

Is FS.X any better in that respect?

Regards

Garry

No, I don't think it is Garry but I can't really remember and I don't go there very often...However, I expect to test someone's scenery in there soon, so I'll check

Hi Peter

The shadow are from the active aircraft which is seperate to all the other scenary......somehow I can't imagine that being any different in FS.X as I would think they would need to run weather on the aircraft I would think

But it would be interesting to see still
