December 20, 20187 yr Coming for XP, they just announced it in their live streaming. It will replace default ground textures. Edited December 20, 20187 yr by france89 Chock 1.1: "The only thing that whines louder than a jet engine is a flight simmer."
December 20, 20187 yr If it’s not capable of seasonal textures, I could care less. Flying in NE in December, with bright green landscapes Is an immersion killer. That’s why I dabble In X-PLANE in the summer; However, if ORBX is able to providing seasonal textures, that’s a game changer for me.... Matt King

Just pretend its summer all year long 🙂 I highly doubt they will provide seasonal textures, it would look kind of funny with summer looking airports.

I do not care about a replacement of the standard summer textures as usually I use ortho scenery in summer...

Swapping textures for different reasons will soon be a thing of the past.

Now that is the game changer. Texture base solution is the thing of the past. Why anyone think that texture base solution is something to be desired where you have snow on the ground before the snow comes and no accumulation after the storms leaves. It was good solution in its day of limited resources but now particle system is the future of seasonal changes and what everybody should want. Bob
December 21, 20187 yr I’ve never been much of a fan of Orbx global textures. They may be better than FSX default, because, after all, what wouldn’t be. But they aren’t as nice as XP default textures. And the “accumulation” effect in that video looks awful and totally unrealistic, although the final snow cover looks fine. Edited December 21, 20187 yr by Griphos
