January 3, 20206 yr After seeing the breathtaking 'snow video' I am craving for seasons to be in the sim even more than before. However, until Microsoft/Asobo actually state it's in the sim I am keeping my fingers crossed. The video has emphasised the importance and beauty of having seasons ion the sim.

January 3, 20206 yr Beautiful, true, it's funny, it just started here in Michigan and already waiting for April.

Buxton is 1,000ft above sea level in the Peak District at 53°N. The next day it had all gone. Easter varies from mid March to mid April and snow can fall at Easter more than at Christmas here in the UK. Just some trivia for you. 😉 I did say normally. And give or take. But for the most part. Winterish is when that happens. So...we have seasons. Current score in today’s play is FS2020 35. P3D 5. x-plane 0.

January 3, 20206 yr I'm just as impressed by the snow video as the rest of you, but in saying that I must admit in all the sims I have had on the PC during the years, I fly aprox.90% of the time in the summer season. I'll probably fly some more in the winter season knowing what it can look like, but summer will always be my favorite season. And yes I prefer going to the beach instead of going skiing 🙂 Jorn Lundtoft I don't always stop and look at airplanes.........Oh wait, Yes I do.

January 4, 20206 yr Moderator Well, snow per se is not a "season," but rather is one possible indicator of "winter". You are correct that this video clip is simply a time-lapsed transition from no snow to several inches of snow. However, it is an indicator that they intend to have seasons. The "snow" appears to be generated procedurally which will allow for different depths and coverage. Fr.

January 4, 20206 yr On 1/3/2020 at 6:00 PM, Doug47 said: I might be wrong on this, BUT, you normally get snow in the season called Winter. Give or take. Not in the season called Summer. Normally. Give or take. Actually no, you get snow in all kinds of climactic scenarios, for example as a NORM at altitude or more northerly or sotherly latitudes. Again, as I said, a season comprises of many elements... every season has it's own lighting conditions, weather patterns, seasonal foliage colour etc. Just adding snow to a video does not comprise "seasons" it just comprises one element of a season. Snow, is "weather" not seasons. Clearly they are working on seasons, they said they would, no surprise there, and they have shown us ONE element of a winter season in mid latitudes. But again... the video does not in any was confirm seasons and we could still have no seasons, some elements of seasons or all seasons at launch. But yes, we will get them eventually they have already said so. Edited January 4, 20206 yr by martin-w
