• 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.

decompile seasons.bgl?

Hi all,
Long time no post! After a hiatus, I'm back trying to code my snow-cover application. Basic summary, I can use various freely available sources for real-time snow cover to create a seasons.bgl reflecting actual hard-winter conditions.

The problem I'm having is creation of a replacement default seasons.bgl that lacks hard-winter where data is available. Is there a simple way to decompile? Is there a source of free monthly images that would be suitable?

Any thoughts a plus!

Hi Scott,

sorry, don't know of a way to decompile the default seasons.bgl. However, you should be able to use a similar approach as with land class files, meaning transparent cells for which you don't have data.

Then again, you're probably trying to get rid of "false positives", i.e., inappropriate hard winter calls in the default seasons file.

There's plenty of climatological data available online but what is really needed are detailed phenology maps (i.e., onset of spring) and I haven't been able to find any. Thus, I use elevation data in combination with latitudional bands to develop my custom seasons files.

Cheers, Holger

That's exactly right, Holger - and thanks for the reply!

Do you know of (or have) a high-quality wgs84 geographic map of north america that has a resolution corresponding to a couple of pixels per LOD? I might hand draw a series of monthly seasons overlays just to test the application...
