Winter Ground Textures

Post by nbaalman19 » Sun Dec 11, 2016 12:39 am

Just Curious if this is how the ground at the airport was intended to look during hard winter in FSX? I am doubtful because of how the white meshes with the scenery surrounding the airport. Screenshot attached. Thx!

No, that doesn't look normal, can you post another screenshot from a little further up, like an airport overview in Winter.

Sorry this took so long to get. Here is a top view. Interesting thing also is during this hard winter period sometimes the AI traffic is gone, sometimes its there.

Did you just buy and install Midway or did you have it for a while? Maybe send me an email requesting a new download, just in case you don't have the latest version, which is: FlyTampa_Midway_FSX_P3D_23.exe

If you do have that version, please test various Hard Winter days/months to see if this happens always or just on a specific date.

Next check if you have the textues, look in:
FSX/FlyTampa/Midway/texture/grd_1x1_hw.dds, grd_1x2_hw.dds, etc.

Hi Martin,
I'm seeing exactly the same as the OP at KMDW. I have the latest installer V2.3 (purchased 10/01/16) and also have the files installed as you noted above. I'm only seeing this using the date 31/12/16. I have tried various years and other dates, but only on this one produces the glitch. I'm not sure, however, if it is because this is the correct date in my time zone or not.

Can you please investigate further.

Regards

Nick

I have narrowed it down to the last week in December. Jan 1 it goes back to normal. I have also tried a combo of cycling on and off Us Cities x Chicago and Orbx open lc. Doesn't seem to make a difference. I do have the latest download version as you mentioned. I also noticed that at night during that time period it is also normal, so it must be a day only issue.
