You will get 4 seasons folders (one for each season) and one 3d tree model folder.
Only one season can be installed at a time in community folder.
Each season has 3 parts:
- Northern hemisphere
- Southern hemisphere
- Tropical areas.
If you install Spring N, Fall S. It means it’s spring in Northern hemisphere and fall in Southern hemisphere. So if you fly from north (spring) to south, you will see fall colors in south (without changing folder)
But if you want to see fall colors in north, then you would have to install Fall N. Spring S.
Every season in north has the opposite season in the south.
Tropical areas always are summer (green) in every season.
The season mod is not connected to the time and date of the sim and it’s not installing season automatically.
Spring:
Spring Season mod will change trees and shrubs to shades of beautiful spring colors within cities only. Forest and areas outside cities will have bright spring green colors only. You will find colorful trees such as cherry blossom, jacaranda, wisteria, etc. There are pink, purple, white, yellow colored trees.
Summer:
All trees and shrubs now have beautiful shades of green and different sizes.
Added a variety of tree types to each region.
Added missing palm trees in some tropical areas.
Added cactus to some of the desert areas.
Fall:
Fall will convert trees all over the world into 20 different sets of fall colors. Not all fall colors will be the same (see pictures below). Tropical areas will have no fall colors since they stay mostly green all year round.
Winter:
Winter changes most trees to multiple brown and gray colors. (except conifer and palm trees) Brown/gray trees look much more natural in winter and with snow instead of green trees with snow.
Winter season does not automatically place snow in scenes. If you want to see snow, you will have to add snow manually in the weather setting or fly in an area in live weather to see snow.
- How do install seasons?
Please read install.txt file included in your package. - Is this compatible with other tree mods?
No. you’ll need to uninstall any other tree mod that has biome information such as the old tree mods or the new NZA Simulations - NZRO Rotorua. If you install 2 tree mods, you may see wrong trees in some areas. - How do I change seasons?
Please read install.txt file included in your package. - I installed seasons and I see no changes.
You probably installed all seasons folder in your community folder or you’re using another tree mod. Only install one season. - I see wrong trees around airports.
You’re using an airport mod that is interfering with this mod. Send me the airport information and I’ll fix it. - Why are photogrammetry trees green in winter?
Those are part of the photogrammetry mesh and cannot be edited but most are covered by season mod trees. - Season doesn’t change when I change the season in weather panel.
Season mod is not controlled by weather panel setting. it’s controlled by what season folder you have in community folder. - Why do I see green trees in winter?
Most Pine, Palm, eucalyptus trees, and tropical areas stay green all year long. - How do I upgrade?
Log in to simmarket and go to download section and download. - How do I get update notification?
Tick the box for update notification here: simMarket: Flight Simulation Add-Ons - MSFS, P3D, FSX, XPLANE - Why don’t I see 3d leafless winter trees everywhere?
Those trees are placed manually by hand and are only places in specific areas. - Why are terrains green in winter?
Season mod doesn’t change terrain color or textures. Those are from Bing satellite imagery. - Does season work in offline mode?
Yes - Does it work with photogrammetry on?
Yes - Where do I find the location of 3d trees:
They are listed in a file called “what’s new.txt” each update should have GPS location.
