Seasons 2024 Enhanced - By Bijan - Released

Thank you

Yes, absolutely. It’s a beautiful tree.

Another question I wanted to ask is do we have any overview of every area you have enhanced so far, like a map or something? For poi’s, custom trees and flowers and so on. I am sure I have not even looked at most of your work up close

Yes, if you search for “Bijan” in the POI search, you’ll find quite a few locations that I’ve worked on.

Maybe you could make a tutorial on YouTube on how to hand place with your assets and let users who are interested in a particular area do the placing in the SDK then submit the project to you?

I know it sounds a bit messy, but I think so many users have pet areas they want done and many would be willing to put in some work themselves (I know I would if it meant I could see some olive plantations on Crete)

If you click this URL, it adds EMAIL at the end, and the URL is broken in a browser. I just realized that it might be a SimMarket bug.

Yes, that’s something they did on their end and I don’t have control over that.

Hi Bijan,

i appreciate the effort trying to fix the color mismatches in the Swiss Alps, but i`m not sure if the current path leads to any decent results.

This is what i`m seeing in 4.1.0 still

I feel like the only proper fix would be an aerial texture replacement for these particular areas.

Hi

I don’t think you have installed it correctly. Where exactly is that so I can compare.? And what month is that?

This is what I see:

The coordinates are in my previous post

Your screenshot obviously shows it is not installed.
Here is the same area:

Make sure you install the whole season enhanced folder and not just bgl file.

I`ve installed it via the simmarket app. It got copied to the Community2024 folder. Is that correct?

  • photogrammetry is turned ON
  • Sim date/time: June 5, 13:00

Not sure what i am missing. Maybe it is the rolling cache.

Please email me for support questions per forum rules.

Today I put the “Seasons enhanced” release 4.2 to a test drive (pardon, … flight).

For me the color correction in Switzerland works and it is a night-to-day difference in some regions. Here for example Einsiedeln abbey (one of my pet peeves in FS2024).


:up_arrow: Vanilla FS2024 | With Seasons Enhanced :down_arrow:

Of course, as expected, the applied color correction filter makes things like railroad tracks (not excluded from mask) somewhat greenish, but that is definitely something I’m willing to accept for a lush green landscape like in reality.

A big thank you to Bijan for his efforts. :folded_hands:

There are still regions which are far off reality, like the area around Andermatt (Switzerland) which in June is brown like early winter, but of course, Bijan cannot fix everything at once and I am still surprised how good the correction works in the fixed areas.

P.S. Also when I compared Ngorogoro crater vegetation I realized how “Seasons enhanced” transformed the patches of rather dense forests in the crater into a far more natural open savannah with scattered trees:

Thank you so much for the kind words and for your support and for posting BOTH the before and actual after screenshots.

I’m glad you are enjoying the updates.
Regarding the Switzerland still looking brown in the early summer: Some part of that area, the season does not change until late may to June. The higher the elevation, the later spring starts. It’s built into the core msfs and cannot be changed.

Gold Coast, Australia photogrammetry clean up with new trees: (in next update)

Just discovered the windmills at the predefined spot via the search for “WindMills Bijan”. Really cool!

Just a small glitch: At one spot close to the starting point there are two different windmills overlapping each other, one rotating the other standing still. See attached screenshot.


(I don’t have another scenery installed for this area.)

ah I see. I’ll have it fixed in next update.

Dear Bijan

Without your product the sim would look horrible, thx for your dedication and ongoing development! The colors in Switzerland look now fantastic what a big difference I love it. There is just one thing which messed up something. Your color layer is visible in the EFB when looking at the map it is kind on top of the Asobo map. You need to zoom in to see that more or less green layer. As well on the pms50 terrain map if you zoom in you just see a green overlay instead of black, yellow and red terrain. Can you please check that? Maybe there is an easy fix to it. Again thx for your dedication and I hope you enjoyed Amsterdam.

Hi there,

Thank you for the kind words, I am really glad you are enjoying the Switzerland update!

I am attaching a picture from my end using the default plane, and I don’t see the issue on the EFB map. Unfortunately, there is no “hide from map” feature in the SDK for the method used here.

Could you please email me with a screenshot of the specific issue you are seeing on the PMS50 map so I know exactly what is happening?
