I read that this product would not only enhance the runways and taxiways, but would also remove the snow from them where snow is present on the ground. It does not appear to remove the snow from them. Anyone tried this product? Their support page does not work either in from the link in the User Manual or from their webpage direct. You get directed to the MSFS Forum and the link there does not work either. Is this a ripoff, or did I misinterpret the description of the product?

If it says it removes snow from runways and it doesn't, then clearly it is breach of advertising standards. I'd ask for a full refund.

I've not seen Zinertek state anywhere that it removes snow from runways.

And their competitor REX states for their own product: "Beautiful snow buildup effects on runways, aprons and taxiways with full PBR support".

It doesn't remove all the snow, it removes enough to see centerline and taxiway entrances and exits, which to me looks pretty realistic. 

You are correct. My mistake. The runway and taxiway signs are all there peeking through the snow. The taxiway markers and lines are all visible. The runway lines are a little more difficult to see as they are white, but of course all the runway white lights are illuminated as they are in the default scenery even in the daytime. 

Thanks

Looks just like that flying in the North, in the winter after a snow.

Yes, but then they get cleared. But in the sim, they never get cleared.

The folks that run the snowplows are on strike. 

On Zinertek Support: I once had success contacting them via Mail 

http://www.zinertek.com/contactus.html

and got a pretty quick reply (1 or 2 days). But this was years ago, I hope it still does work.

Kind regards, Michael
