January 5, 201511 yr Author Think the guess is right. Have snow over them hmmmm that's possible only when LR wants to. God ... always this "when LR wants" :rolleyes: ... No guys, the scenery (Global Scenery or HD Mesh ... in this respect they are identical) has much more to do with "science" than you might imagine. It relies mostly on the different input data sources about landclass and climate. In most regions - in the meantime - we can rely on information about perpetual snow or ice (that is the white stuff, which usually remains - in a statistical sense - over the entire year) as two types of landclass (which we make usually white - with lots of additional considerations) ... Additionally, we also interpret high resolution climate data (annual precipitation + annual mean temperature), and make very cold (+ moist) regions white from a given threshold on (which we decided experimentally - ok, this is maybe the only "LR" part). In summary, we usually call the default scenery representation / texturing as a representation of "early/mid summer" in the real world. And this is usually a time, where - for example - in the Alps the snow retreats rapidly (of course, in real life this varies year-by-year) ... the indeed many - even higher - mountains become snow free (and I can assure you, that at least in the Alps I know what I am talking about, as I have hiked there already quite a lot). The other "phenomenon" which remains white are glaciers ... and to some extent we have them represented quite well too already (I have imported data from real world glacier databases) : (the Aletsch Glacier in Switzerland) Andras Fabian / Alpilotx Visit www.alpilotx.net, a site about X-plane scenery You can see some landscape and other photographs from me here: http://www.flickr.co...s/weathermaker/

January 6, 201511 yr Well Andras, I have to say you have done a top notch job. I took 2 Airbus flights over Eastern Canada yesterday and was really impressed by the detail of the landscape. Just wonderful. :im Not Worthy: Now all we need is for LR to sort out the visibility and it will look even better!

January 7, 201511 yr Author LOL i don't even know what that visibilty thing is that all are talking about. This: http://developer.x-plane.com/2014/03/better-long-range-visiblity-in-x-plane-10-30/And these were my thoughts on the implications it will bring (namely, even more RAM hunger): http://forum.avsim.net/topic/439561-any-word-on-1030/?p=2976906 Andras Fabian / Alpilotx Visit www.alpilotx.net, a site about X-plane scenery You can see some landscape and other photographs from me here: http://www.flickr.co...s/weathermaker/

January 7, 201511 yr This:http://developer.x-p...-x-plane-10-30/ I'd forgotten about this blog entry, it seems so long ago. When you look at the 64-bit image on the right, it really shows how things will look once it is (hopefully) implemented. I hope Ben has had the time to look at the "wall of fog" weather visibility issue too.
January 7, 201511 yr UPDATE: The HD Mesh Scenery v3 is now available on DVDs too (for those with limited bandwidth), from fspilotshop.com: http://www.alpilotx.net/downloads/x-plane-10-hd-mesh-scenery-v3/#Via-DVD-deliver Excellent, that will save me about 2 weeks worth of downloading!
January 7, 201511 yr Thanks for getting the DVDs set up, Andras.

January 7, 201511 yr Author Thanks for getting the DVDs set up, Andras. Those of us with low bandwidth are very pleased, and it gives FSPilotshop some deserved thanks! Oh, don't worry ... there was not much work involved on my side B) Fspilotshop.com did this all on its own (just like with v2). We only did coordinate a few things, but most of the work was theirs.

January 9, 201511 yr Hi Guys Been collecting some of my favourite areas of this great scenery and my thanks to the creator. But on the grid map I can't find the block for New Zealand. Can someone give me a tip on this? Thanks in advance....
