Grey Runway/Ground Textures in Winter ONLY

[gunafly]

When flying in winter dates, runway, taxiway and grass textures are all grey. I DO NOT have DX10 enabled, and never have. I did a complete uninstall/reinstall, with no luck. This anomaly ONLY happens in winter, and scenery is fine all other seasons..please help!!

Kind Regards...

I'm getting the same thing. I just purchased the Carenado B200 for a maiden flight from Indy to Midway. I didn't even land when I saw nothing but grey.
The manual says to turn off DX10. I don't use DX10 so that can't be it.

I saw this too with both KBOS and KMDW. After some troubleshooting, I narrowed it down to it being a result of the date being December 31st. For my system all is ok on any date other than December 31st. Have you tried that? I'm curious if this is true for others?

It's a leap year issue. 2000, 2008, 2012, and it will happen again in 2016. KBOS, KMDW, I checked OMDB. It was fine. I didn't try others.

Thanks so much bills511!!! That's a relief, cause this is my favorite airport, and I fly here almost every day! Cheers and Happy New Years!

Happy Flying!

Happy New Year to you too.
I haven't flown to Midway in a very long time, and it just so happens it was on Dec. 31 in a leap year.
So, don't forget in 2016 don't fly there.
