Struggling to make the seasons?
Posted: Sun Oct 22, 2017 2:25 pm
Hello there
I spoke to you a while back when i was having difficulty with my night lighting, I did manage to get the LM work using a TIF in the end, since then I have been trying to make the seasons but I'm finding it really hard, I have tried to add seasons using a BMP but it doesn't work for me, it comes up with an error for incorrect header maybe because I saved the BMP using Gimp 2.8? So I then tried to save them as a tiff which seemed to work in ReSample but when I load in the sim my photoreal ground image is missing and I have water over all the land. I have searched high and low for a clear tutorial or info on this problem but have come to a dead end. I have never made seasons before so i'm flying blind, could really do with your help on this as it's the last part to finishing my scenery and it's driving me crazy. I'm using Window 10 64, SbuilderX 313 and p3d v4.
Here is my last working INF, contains night lighting but NO seasons
