What's New in Version 2.11   
Released March 4

Version 2.1

Installer for windows. Reduces package size by 50% by installing the base files and creating symlinks in their sister files.

Installer name is Winter 2.1 for XP.exe WINDOWS ONLY

Read the README.TXT for adjusting the scenery.ini load order (load order same as version 2.0)

Adjust, or Copy and paste load order below if using Version 2.0, as it did not include a README.txt

If updating delete all seasonal snow files before install. Will install to where ever your x plane\custom scenery folder is located by changing the install path. To remove scenery package just delete all of the seasonal snow files from custom scenery folder manually.

 

 

Start xplane and EXIT ONCE THE MAIN SCREEN HAS LOADED. Open your custom scenery.ini and make sure the file starts like this:

I
1000 Version
SCENERY

SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/Seasonal Snow N Fall/
SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/Seasonal Snow N Spring/
SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/Seasonal Snow N Light/
SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/Seasonal Snow ND Light/
SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/Seasonal Snow N/
SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/Seasonal Snow ND/

If you use my other scenery files for fall ground and trees, and spring, make sure it is like this:

I
1000 Version
SCENERY

SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/Seasonal Fall N/
SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/Seasonal Snow N Fall/
SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/Seasonal Snow N Spring/
SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/Seasonal Snow N Light/
SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/Seasonal Snow ND Light/
SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/Seasonal Snow N/
SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/Seasonal Snow ND/
SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/Seasons_N_Autumn_Early/
SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/Seasons_N_Autumn/
SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/Seasons_N_Winter1/
SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/Seasons_N_Winter2/
SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/Seasons_N_Spring/

Yes despite the usual order that you are supposed to put scenery loads, these need to be at the top to work the best.

YES YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE THESE EXAMPLES TO YOUR INI FILE!

Help please: X-Plane 11 keeps saying

"Error loading the scenery package: Custom Scenery/Global Airports/
0:06:26.677 E/SYS: | X-Plane cannot run with this package installed. You may need to remove the custom scenery package.
0:06:26.677 E/SYS: | See the Log.txt file for detailed error information.

0:06:26.677 E/SYS: | (io_dsf.cpp:943)"

 

and doesn't let me load the winter textures. I've rearranged my scenery.ini file multiple times and redownloaded 2 times but nothing works. Perhaps XP changed the code again?

What's the deal? Thanks.

It's probably great, but because it is an .exe file. I can't open or run it. It's useless unless I buy a Windows emulator.

Downloaded the .exe, moved it to the custom scenery folder, ran as admin, the folders extracted to the custom scenery folder, started and stopped x-plane, checked the .ini - files were in correct order.  Restarted x-plane in Lake Tahoe (January), no snow anywhere on the ground or in the mountains

Do not use for X-plane 11! It will break your sim!

Works great!! ⛄ Thank you very much sir!! 😃 Finally the simulator matches the winter season! 

  

Do not install. Followed instructions exactly, but this addon doesn't work, and it crashes the sim :(

Thanks for the Add-on, would've never bought X-plane if I knew they were to lazy to make their own texture!!!!

Thank you for making this available, this is the very first winter add-on than I've been able to get to work in X-plane 11, by following your install instructions exactly.

Initially per the instructions I dropped the downloaded extracted folder into the Custom Scenery folder, but that did not work solely by itself.

I then realized I had to extract the four individual folders from that initial folder and add those individually into the Custom Scenery folder, then I opened the scenery.ini file and edited it to look exactly like your example here,  then it all worked,  this will make flying in the northern latitudes more fun this winter. Thank you

Edit this AM,  With a hot cup of coffee and an adventurous soul I jumped into the Cessna and decided to fly over to Wenatchee for lunch, even though our northwest weather was starting to lay down some snow up in the Cascades. It is still green on the ground at KSEA SeaTac when I left but as I got closer to the mountains things started to change just like they do in real life around here. Seldom get snow around Seattle but usually do in the mountains so this scenery addon is spot on for January. Pretty cool, and really feels like the real thing. Glad I brought my thermos with me, LOL,,,,  Thanks again for this superb winter addon!!

Thanks man it's work like a charm and looking beautiful. Winter is coming 😃

 

  

Help, It works on some airports but in other not. For example it works on EPWR but not on EPWA. Could it be because of orthos? On EPWR i don't have any orthos and it works there, but on EPWA i have orthos and it doesn't work there :( Please help!

  

Doesn't work. This crashes my game...

  

Very nice!  Thank you. Looks great.

Great plugin, very nice for flying in Canada in winter.

Would be nicer if it could be turned off by latitude, or location.

Vancouver or Victoria Canada are not snow covered in February. (well ok, they are this year, but not normally 😉

Flying from snowy Calgary (good) to snowy Las Vegas (not so good).

G'day madmaxland

Wow, works great, Winter in XP11, without a performance hit, for free and easy to install, that's insanely good. Thank you!

(also, any chance to also "snowify" the green parts around some of the default city buildings? That's pretty much the only thing that stands out. )

Or maybe, I'm just doing wrong and it's already fixed? Can anybody help with my problem? :

grab the file photoscenery autogen. It removes those green areas

Just amazing. See the video above.  Just needs custom trees with some snow on it and it will be golden 🙂

Oh dude! This addon is awesome! I did a flight from Bergen to LPPT earlier. When taking off from Bergen the scenery looks so cool with this whole winter wonder land. Great addon and thank your making it!

SO I am confused, this doesn't work outside of the US? The pictures seem great, but why limited to US?

Response from the author:

Not limited to the us, need better info as to where snow coverage is in europe and asia. Will update after i get that.

(edited)

  

its ok but sadly no snow outside of the US :(

edit: sorry for my stupidity i flew in Germany and i forgot there is no snowfall in Germany but could you fix the snow in deserts? it looks awkward in Las Vegas. Great addition to flying in eastern erurope!!!!

I've spent a good hour installing it, and to now I really enjoy it! Only problem is that there's a lot of "pufs" of default scenery around the snow textures. Any way to fix this?

So I am a little long in the tooth but after I figured out that the other files could be found at the bottom of the page and got everything installed and edited the ini file fall winter and spring look fantastic compared to virgin X-Plane scenery and not much if any of a frame rate hit. Thank you so much for this add on!!Â
