March 30, 201214 yr I must be daft or FSX is broken. Here in WI it is very pretty in fall with the tree color change.Does FSX only have green trees? Tried several fall dates, its either beige ground or white snow, no fall orange tree colors.What am I doing wrong?Edit: Also do lakes ever freeze in FSX with season change?

As for trees though I don't know, I didn't look because gum trees aren't deciduous we don't have much colour change in Australia. Have you got rise of flight? That has a great fall landscape with colored trees depending when the mission is set.
