• 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.

Tips for adding snow to photoreal terrain?

I was wondering if anyone here has had experience winterizing their source photos for photoreal scenery. I've tried Martin Wright's program BMPSeason but it seems to be made for urban areas (changes lighter areas to snow, such as roads and buildings), and mine is mountainous (with lots of dark trees). I do have photoshop but I'm definitely not an expert with it, so any techniques would be really appreciated!

i had good luck with just doing a select by color for various shades of green and then blending in white. That was more for open spaces than forests, but give it a shot you might find it easier then you expect. You might try adding a default texture as a layer to help color match.

Wow, the snow coverage on that german site looks incredible! I got really good results using Scott S's method as well, much better than the clunky way I was doing it before (using brushes and so forth). Thanks for the replies!
