I finally did my X-country solo before Christmas but was surprised that the big blue references I had come to rely on in FS2K2 (lakes and rivers) were far less apparent because they are now all white (ice and snow). Is there any way to make the water textures white in certain areas without also freezing the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico?David

You're looking for this:http://www.flightsim.com/cgi/zview?cm=view...&an=Lakeice.gifFS2002 White Ice For Lakes And RiversName: ice-ls.zip Size: 254,529 Date: 03-18-2002 Downloads: 3337 FS2002 White Ice For Lakes And Rivers. These files produce a whiter ice and "freeze" the rivers too. Includes a "copy/paste" effects section for wheel/ski planes to produce a "blowing snow" look and allow for river take-off/landings without the "dirt" showing. Includes Fred Choate's original FS2K2ICE.ZIP textures so that you may choose blue or white ice.

Rob,That's amazing! When I posted that I was really asking hypothetically. I visit this site several times a day and have done so for at least a few years. I can't believe something like this snuck by. It probably came out in August and just didn't seem pertinent at the time. Thanks for the tip!David

Your more than welcome, hope you enjoy it as much as I do!Rob "Holland&Holland" de Vries
