Seasons on SA ?

[PLUTON]

As the title suggests, are there seasons on the South Atlantic map? or not?

i not run the gamut on seasons though i have noticed the sunset and sunrise time are accurate. i started a mission at 0900 in june and it was quite dark.

Thanks for the reply money devil.
it was to find out about the snow cover on the massifs if there was a difference between summer and winter.

i did another mission in June and flew west from runway hot start in Chile. i never saw a massif to be able to tell if there was snow. the terrain around where i started was low ground and not much relief. i will do another air start over some mountains to see. the map is still a little sparse. i understand the devs are working on it to get more areas developed.

This map is based on a satellite imagery, so in terms of the ground textures (including snowcaps on mountains) there is absolutely no difference between various months. And I'm 99% sure there won't ever be. Edit: see the comment below.

There is only one season now. But will eventually come. Quick search you know.

Good to know! Have to start saving for another SSD 

[PLUTON]

Let's save, let's save because this map is really beautiful so any place will be given to it

This will explain then why despite setting the weather to blizzard conditions in mid winter (August) there is no snow on the ground.

Thanks for the reply and the info.
I'm in no hurry but the day it will happen
I think that will be a plus.
Good flight

Still no Seasons, almost 2 years

Still no Seasons, over 2 years! Even after a pretty big (and nice) update.

The Kola winter textures on the SA map would be nice.

Is it worth having winter textures on this map? I thought it didn't really snow much there. Isn't it just 9°C and windy all year round?

Thanks so much for adding snow to SA map with the latest DCS update!! Merry Christmas
