January 20, 20242 yr Reads NOAA data and injects snow into XP12.

January 20, 20242 yr Author I don't know. It works with live weather and custom (it basically overrides it I think).

January 20, 20242 yr ActiveSky users might be happy to know they put out a test build with snow. I tried it and it works like the plugin - though I don't know if there will be differences depth or issues with either. I have been flying with the new plugin across northern US and it is so immersive with snow I can't get enough. We have a snowball competition, boyz. https://www.mediafire.com/file_premium/v8d5jb7zm6w5sb0/ASXP12_Install.exe/file

The Snow-plugin is really good, although not perfect. I noticed for example that it puts ice on the airport-tarmac where it looks like ice but doesn't behave like it (the ice-datarefs on the ground stay at zero and the breaking-coefficient doesn't seem to be affected too) i9 12900k, RTX 3090, 32GB RAM
January 20, 20242 yr Moderator This is superb.. just taking it for a test spin around northern Washington and it works a treat

But hey, this is an early version and maybe auto-slipperyness will come along eventually. You can set a data ref to reduce runway friction but I don't know if it works well. I think someone wrote a FWL script for this on the org. There is a new version today of the Accumulated Snow plugin that addresses a few woes but not icy conditions yet, He's working on frozen lakes and streams I think. I have not yet tested the latest version.

January 20, 20242 yr Works A+! 2 hours ago, tonywob said: They are/will, apparently, not sure when though. Well, considering that 12.1.0 will get some weather optimizations, it would be the best of opportunities to roll such a feature in. 7950X3D + 7900 XT + 64 GB + Linux | 4800H + RTX2060 + 32 GB + Linux My add-ons from my FS9/FSX days

January 23, 20242 yr interesting i flew into Innsbruck on sunday, mid winter ski season, It looked like august.

One reason MIGHT 😄 be that there currently isn't snow in Innsbruck (apart from the top of the hills): https://www.innsbruck.info/webcam/?frontentry=https%3A%2F%2Finnsbruck.panomax.com. Another reason might be that the NOAA data for that region is "sparse". Watch my YT-channel: https://www.youtube.com/@flyingcarpet1340/ Customer of X-Plane, Aerofly, Flightgear, MSFS.
January 23, 20242 yr im aware they are having a bit of a rubbish ski season, but the default without the app looks like mid summer , in my opinion.
