Another seasons step from Bijan

[scotchegg 4,186]

Bijan has recently released an experimental set of terrain masks for Autumn / Winter seasons which go a long way to mitigating the jarring mismatch of his brown, yellow and red Autumn trees with the vivid, lush greens of most of the summer temperate satellite images. Still a WIP (it sometimes puts dirt / grass on runways), but with some tweaking, it looks like we might have a truly satisfying seasons solution very soon.

Timeliness is critical.  Here along the mid-Atlantic USA the colors have not yet begun to change.......

Sorry, actually wanted to put some screenies up but forgot what a pita it is to put them in to Avsim posts.

Anyway, updated with product link.

Asobo should think about hiring this guy, open up the code an let’s see what he can do.

Wow - nice! That would look much better anyway at any time of year, not just Autumn. 

The top image looks false because the colours are to strong - over saturated.  The bottom one is much more natural.

I wonder why he is going through all this trouble. Asobo said they are working on it and I assume they will use similar solutions in the end. 

Why should I pay for this, when it will be delivered to me for free in a years time by Asobo?

Because with Bijans product you will have it NOW and working while Asobo's solution is still nothing more than empty words like the real AI traffic that was advertised before release? Might be, that Asobos implementation will be further delayed, and then? I mean, it is not a huge pricetag we talk about here, no? So those few dollars for the sake of having already some kind of seasons at least one year in advance is worth every cent in my opinion. But of course, nobody forces you to buy this product...

Also Bijan doesn’t just replace trees, he makes tailored biomes to closer match the country.

Wow, thanks for the info 😃

Looks very good. I bought the 4 Seasons Pack when it was released. Will I get these upgrades, or is this a seperate product?

It's included in the most recent download.

Kind regards, Michael

Awesome looking update, very much worth the money, be interesting to see if Asobo can match let alone better his work with their seasons next year.

Grass does not turn brown in the fall, at least not where I live.
