• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Summer and night textures only in FS9

I need to know how to get FS9 to produce only Summer(Day) and night photoreal textures without having to use all the other season's textures. Can someone help me out?
 
Can't you simply load the other non-summer seasons with your summer bitmap and the nighttime with your nighttime bitmap as shown below? That would cause the summer bitmap to be shown in all seasons except at night.

Then again, maybe you just want your textures on summer and nighttime and want to use the default autogen scenery outside these times, in which case you should be able to remove the sections for the seasons you don't want to change from the above '.inf' file.
 
No. I want the summer textures to show during all seasons (day). And night textures during all seasons during the night. I don't want it to grey out the textures during other seasons. I'm trying to keep the download size down. If I load the summer textures for the other seasons then the download size is huge. There is a way to "link the other seasons to a single set of textures without repeating the textures. It has to do with WinXP's ability to use "hard links." I figured some of the programmers here should know what I'm talking about.
