Winter_Package 1.1 from Albert Laubi available!

[alpilotx]

Now, another winter replacement texture pack for X-Plane 10 has become available!

 

Directly from the "father" of the original XP10 textures - Albert Laubi - himself. These textures are not "official" in any way, just an "experiment" and a gift from him to the community! They can be seen as another alternative to the already discussed Russian interpretation of the winter theme. Alberts textures might also be a good alternative for all of you, who have FPS issues with the Russian textures (Albert did not apply normal maps all over the place ... which can be quite heavy on less powerful GPUs if used to extensively ...and its visual appeal is also questionable in places - but this is just a plain question of taste I think).

 

Pleas be aware, that this packages is really "only" a big set of replacement textures with a detailed readme to tell you how to replace the original textures. At the moment it has no "integration" with scripts like SimpleSeasons because Albert has not much time (nor knowledge) to do this himself. So, if anyone here has time / interest / knowledge to help Albert integrate his fantastic work with - for example - SimpleSeasons, then please feel free to contact him and give him a hand (many other users will be thankful too)!

 

IMPORTANT: this texture package is NOT from me, but from Albert Laubi (I am only helping him to get the word out, because he is a very good and long term friend of mine, with whom we worked on X-Plane since many years). So, if you have specific questions, suggestions, tips or want to give him a hand with SimpleSeason, please contact him directly (for example via the Org ... his users there is: Xflyer )

And here is the download

Wow thanks

[alpilotx]

There is now a script to combine SimpleSeasons with Winter Package (form ShePoley):

• Winter_Package & Simple Season 0.1

Cool

Will this work with HD Scenery mesh v3 & SimHeaven as well?

Yes

Hi,

 

I don't think it can work with SimHeaven because it has it's own textures which are not winterized.

SimHeaven, definitely NOT! Those are myriads of unique phototextures which would need to be - ALL - winterized on their own. This is one of the drawbacks of phototextures.

So in order to get a snowy landscape (same I have outside now), is following scenery pack setup a good start before following Xflyer's instruction of replacing files?:

Sorry for my short yes. I was not mentioning that I am only using osm data from simheaven and not photo textures.

Fine no problems. Are your "Scenery_packs.ini" file look like mine (above)? Would like to have a good starting point.
