Scenery has gone grey

Featured Replies

Hello Everyone and a Happy New Year.

Following on from another post yesterday.  I realised after doing a flight that as soon as I got out of the UK2000 scenery that everything in ORBX was black and white and grey.  In a fit of desperation I have removed all ORBX components then re-installed them from via FTX Central.  I have also deleted the Terrain.cfg and scenery.cfg.  If I load the sim up with out any ORBX scenery it looks ok.  Interestingly when I went to KFSO it looked ok.

You can see an example in the first link.

Which are in the Library order shown below.

Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?

Have you provided a link to the correct screenshot? I can see plenty of colour in it..... :huh:

Ah. yeah dude, it gets pretty grey in these parts this time of year, just like the image you provided.  It's called winter :)

Happy New Year to you.

UK2000 airports don't have seasonal ground textures, so it will always be summer at the airport, then as you fly (as the others have mentioned) Orbx will be showing the hard winter textures which do appear grey and white.

Set the date in the simulator to spring, summer or autumn, problem solved (no more snow textures) 😀

Hmm is that all it is?  If it is I am a dumbass.

I've only been simming for a year but I don't remember all the scenery being grey last year.  I will try and see what it does.

 

 

My first impression is that it is a) winter and b) HDR is on 😉

Ha ha

 

I refrained from that.  I never remember seeing that last year....... or I didn't use the sim last January.!

Yes, you will see a 'fifth season' in January only!

Well thanks for advice.  I am pleased it entertained some of you.

I rolled back to December last night and yes the scenery was "normal".

Until next time.

Yes, it was indeed funny! 🙂

Happy New Year!!
