Now, another winter replacement texture pack for X-Plane 10 has become available!

 

Directly from the "father" of the original XP10 textures - Albert Laubi - himself. These textures are not "official" in any way, just an "experiment" and a gift from him to the community! They can be seen as another alternative to the already discussed Russian interpretation of the winter theme. Alberts textures might also be a good alternative for all of you, who have FPS issues with the Russian textures (Albert did not apply normal maps all over the place ... which can be quite heavy on less powerful GPUs if used to extensively ...and its visual appeal is also questionable in places - but this is just a plain question of taste I think).

 

Pleas be aware, that this packages is really "only" a big set of replacement textures with a detailed readme to tell you how to replace the original textures. At the moment it has no "integration" with scripts like SimHeaven, because Albert has not much time (nor knowledge) to do this himself. So, if anyone here has time / interest / knowledge to help Albert integrate his fantastic work with - for example - SimpleSeasons, then please feel free to contact him and give him a hand (many other users will be thankful too)!

 

IMPORTANT: this texture package is NOT from me, but from Albert Laubi (I am only helping him to get the word out, because he is a very good and long term friend of mine, with whom we worked on X-Plane since many years). So, if you have specific questions, suggestions, tips or want to give him a hand with SimpleSeason, please contact him directly (for example via the Org ... his users there is: Xflyer )

 

And here is the download

Awesome, looks better in the screenshots than the Russian one  B)  need to test it later today!! 

Thx a lot for the info Alpilot!

Thanks Andras will give this a try.

 

It's so cold and horrible outside here that I'd rather fly virtually with sunny skies and green and pleasant land ;-). And then in the Summer, I'll be complaining and what to fly virtually in wind and snow.

Did some1 get this working.. i replaced everything the readme told me and this is the result... 

 

This looks good. I will try it later. Probably in Alaska.

Looks good, but also highlights how this should be something done by Laminar natively.

Now it works like a charm!! The problems before was because Xflyer forgot some file from the upload.

Yes, please check back, as he has uploaded a "fixed" version (seen on the linked download site)!

Anyone tried it in Alaska ? 

 

 I am too confused about how to install it. even after reading the Readme.

I did a small video with these textures at the end there's some DC3 action in Alaska 

Hmm why is it so dull ?

Nice video showing the textures Joonas.  Thanks for posting.

There is now a script to combine SimpleSeasons with Winter Package (form ShePoley):

• Winter_Package & Simple Season 0.1
