All Heck has broken loose!!

Postby Bad_at_FS » Sat Jan 13, 2007 9:12 am

Ok, so I went into FS2004 today, just to fly around.
I get into an SAAB and decide to take off from Norway with the winter wonderland theme turned on.
So, I got bored with that, landed and exited the flight, and decided to fly someplace else. I decided to take off from Orlando Florida, In the middle of the summer. So I set everything up and start the flight, And.... It's SNOWING IN FLORIDA!!
Ok, I decided that I just accidentally left the winter wonderland theme on and exited, turned off winter wonderland and still no dice. Since when does it snow in Florida? In the middle of the summer!!!!

I think that is because, although you turned the weather off, the ground textures stay in "wintermode". I think if you exit the flight completely and start over everything will be fine.

Global "warming" causes snow in Florida? What are you drinking and can I have some?

Ozzy is right. At this time here in Denmark, we should get -5 deg. It is at +12 and i have a waterpump running in my cellar to prevent a swimmingpool.
But if he has a good idea for a drink, i will be happy to hear about it.

Ozzy said what I was thinking, Global warming is blamed for all extreme weather conditions these days.

I've seen it "snowing" in Florida at the Universal Studios theme park. The snow was actually foam sprayed from the rooftops but it looked & felt very realistic. I have a photo somewhere.

Back to the original topic. Not tried it myself but I suspect this 'winter wonderland' addon is the culprit.

Wasn't there a phase several years ago where abnormal weather patterns were blamed on the el nino/el nina???

Believe me, global warming would not account for that much of a change in temperature. Some years you just get unseasonal weather.

Nobody here in scandinavia has ever, ever seen something like this. Animals and human beings are not behaving normal. Now they prenounce weather in 2007 just like in Sahara desert.
Would you like to buy a swimmingpoll now? In a few months i dont think i have one for sale.
