With the winter season starting snow/icing is becoming more and more common but unfortunately,
MSFS doesn’t do a great job at displaying these effects on the ground compared to x-plane12.
Icing in X-Plane12
Icing in MSFS (Non-existant)
Snow in X-Plane12
Snow in MSFS (Looks like the regular rocky ground but painted white. No snow height)
The snow depth slider is not depth related at all but coverage related.
14 inches
heh
nothing against XPlane but that first screenshot looks to me like some glass granite bricks inside some castle hall 
Really, never saw this IRL and I’m curious where guys from Xplane did errors…
why not 
… its realy overhyped .. lots of users pick-up some special things from that flightsim and forget all what these sim not offer.. there is a reason why lots of users switched to msfs.
And yes, fully agree.. marmor-texture versus real icing 
But the more general wish like “Improve …” is allways valid.. Improvments are allways possible.
Yeah its not the best but its better than nothing. I wish both sims actually made snow have depth and not be flat.
I like this MSFS for sure
LZTT backtrack rwy27 after landing.
Maybe next screenshot after went to Aprone stand in LZTT, I think also very good example.
i can tell you that textures change with temperature and weather what is ok in MSFS now, really I’m very curious what snow effect Update will bring inside sim. If it will be not good, we all will give recommendations and devs will do that better in next time, I don’t doubt about that
