September 15, 20223 yr Seeing some cool shots. Just wondering is the weather engine in the sim smart enough to depict snow on the ground based on the real world weather report (pretty much like MSFS)?

You'll also get snowy or icy runway conditions. If the temperature warms up or the metar changes, the snow will melt and form puddles (dinamically). It's something you need to see to really graps, it's really cool but hard to describe. You can download the demo and test it before buying. Enrique Vaamonde
September 15, 20223 yr I wonder if it also accounts for past metars (e.g. heavy snow cover if it's been snowing from hours, less if it just started snowing). Albeit that would be more complex to model, so I'm not requiring such level of detail! Also, Ben basically confirmed that the weather system will be open for 3rd parties to further improve things, so that's great news!

September 15, 20223 yr Hi Murmur, don't quote me on this but I think XP12 also downloads the previous cycle to do what you mention. Enrique Vaamonde
September 16, 20223 yr Haven't been able to test and I had to reinstall the sim due to corruption of many scenery files during the D/L process 😕 but I will try to look at it... Finding the right spot to test is the most difficult ...

I don’t think it keeps track of historical weather but I would be glad to be proven wrong.
January 17, 20233 yr X-Plane 12 does NOT generate snow according to METAR. You need to manually configure weather to get snow/ice on the ground. At KTRK now. It's snowing for real but X-Plane shows rain with no snow on the ground..

January 17, 20233 yr I was able to manually configure weather to get snowy ground cover, but if I try to get actual snow falling by turning the precip up and the temp down to ~ -10C, I get what looks like snow slowly coming down, but it's grey/black and looks more like volcanic ash than snow. Anyone know if there's a shader mod or other cure that'll make the snow falling appear white rather than dark grey to black?
