Landscape Seasons effect view distance

Hello there,
after having dumped career mode and now properly doing free-flights in FS2024, I noticed an effect about seasons that I haven’t seen discussed yet.

It seems to me, that there is clearly a "viewing distance" for the seasonal effect. And this distance is currently much too low.
This is especially noticeable in external view.

See following screenshot in winter without snow at 15.000ft.
Notice the brown/grey landscape near the aircraft.
The further you look away, the “greener” (=no winter effect) it gets.
This effect seems to move with the plane, converting the standard green landscape into winter colors.

Have you guys also noticed this?
I find it quite annoying now that I realized it.

it all looks pretty brown to me. if it is green to your eyes, then maybe at the distance, because pixels are no smaller than the ones in the foreground, then there is probably color bleed. but I dont see it. Nothing to write home to Mom about anyway

Thanks for the feedback. The screenshot does not show too well what I mean.
I’ve zoomed in an marked the areas below.
close to the plane = brown winter scenery
further away = green standard (summer) scenery

Still wondering how noone except me is annoyed by this :smiley:

Today’s flight in the SU2 beta had it extremely obvious again, so I took 2 more screenshots to demonstrate.
The brown season is moving together with the plane; everything further away is green and turns brown as you come closer.

You can see the split line on screenshot 1
Screenshot 2 shows the orange marked area after coming closer. First it’s green, then it’s brown


I’m not yet giving up on this, as just now in SU2 flying over England (live time/weather) I just had an extremely obvious example of the issue.

See how all fields are brown on the bottom of the screenshot (which is around the aircraft).
See how all fields are green further away from that.
And this transition moves with the plane.
Just awful.
