Seasons

I hope that they work on Seasons before Fall rolls around. The snow they put in was awesome, but they kind of got it backwards. Roads would cover with snow first, and rooftops being the last thing to have snow on them, whereas we all know rooftops typically get covered first in a light snow and then roads.

I’m really hoping Fall and snow-less Winter can be implemented.

Would be fine with 2: winter and summer

If possible a slow - just like in reality - transition would be great. Even better, following the real temperature and precipitation if possible ofcourse. But mayby I am asking to much :smile:

I can’t believe seasons hasn’t been a topic in any q&a. It’s definitely time.

After a solid stable xbox implementation we might expect devolopment of seasons I guess.

In the latest development update snapshot (wishes section), it looks like seasons implementation is backlogged until 2022, unfortunately.

It used to be planned for 2021 in the previous snapshots, though.

Hence they should address this in a q&a. Why is it not further up on the list I wonder?

On the very day of the development update, that’s is to say April 22nd, it was listed at the bottom of the wishes snapshot and marked due released in 2022.

I have now taken a fresh peek at an updated version of the top wishes snapshot, it’d been apparently edited and totally removed from the list.

Interesting.

Are you sure ?

I can see the “Seasons” on both normal and web friendly version of wishes list.

Here is the link

Kind regards.

Nothing was removed. Probably it take more time then expected vs others priority. Season is a lot more then just tree colours, season is dynamic from ground terrain, different country, winter activity airports, even on sky.

I’m well aware of the fact that seasons is a lot more than just a tree color, maybe I’m the first simmer here to have states that we must be patient and wait for and urge the developers to bring the native elaborate seasons scheme to the simulator when ‘seasonal tree modifier add-on’ fist came in a few months back.

Please check and verify that Seasons seems removed on the top wishes snapshot - second one from top - in the living April 22nd Dev Update BLOG here

Summary on Seasons fate :

It’s mistake on the blog, there is only one top wish snapshot page on the blog for feature (not talking about VR top wishes snapshot or Top bug). There should be 2 pages of top wish snapshot, one full page of top wish snapshot is completely missing.

MSFS Web Site va Blog missing one full page.

@Jummivana can you add the missing top wishes to the Blog, there is missing one.

Bad news becomes official then, Seasons backlogged to 2022.

Sad and unfortunate this is pushed back so far.

I’d really, really love seasons built in. Ideally it would calculate seasons by blending between 4 different variations based on the day of year, or a slider. Not just 4 distinct settings. Maybe that’s too much to ask for, but in the real world there aren’t 4 perfectly distinct seasons, it’s always a smooth transition somewhere between two. If there’s entirely separate textures for each season, then blending them for any given day is likely impossible. But if seasons are accomplished by coloring the base scenery textures, ground textures, tree/vegetation textures, with a color multiplier and perhaps contrast (gamma) value, those could interpolate between the 4 season settings giving an infinite variation of seasons. Much more realistic and varied.

Folks, please keep 3rd Party addons out of the wishlist. Use #third-party-addon-discussion for this.

Valid. Sorry, just a little stream of consciousness chatting, and certainly off the original topic. I’ll send a private message to continue the third party chatting.
