White rivers in Winter

[Weta43]

Working on the assumption that at some time there will be Winter textures for Afghanistan, could the textures cover the rivers and lakes with flat white - as either ice or snow - even if it's only a new surface texture for the water and they're actually still water as far as the sim is concerned?

Ideally water above a certain altitude would become solid & white (perhaps gain a texture & a hitbox strong enough to become solid in practice?) but failing that at least looking solid would be better than dark rivers flowing through frozen landscapes.

("Ideal Plus" would be to simulate real life and let rivers be used as roads at altitude in the winter - but perhaps a bit too optimistic)

Even without going to altitude in the mountains, Ghazni's daily average temp in Jan is -6℃ & < -2℃ Dec to Feb- so no water running down the streams there over winter...

Would love that! And I wish we could have it on other relevant maps as well. Icing on the cake would be to be able to bomb them.

The very first thing I tried after I bought the map was to check it in winter. Didn't knew that there are no textures yet so I start to explore it assuming that there is only snow in the Himalaya ridge. Found very beautiful places, in my opinion better that those showed through different Quick missions.

Have lived in Karachi, and had the opportunity to see a little of North Pakistan. Spectacular!

I mean during my time in 2008 there was more rain than snow where I was. The Korengal and some other mountains got snow, but nothing significant at my FOB.

Same here Eric...Bagram was mostly just wet with the mountains of the bowl it was in having snow on the caps around it. Salerno didn't have any snow and was actually a nice winter when on that deployment.

Nice, I don't have any photos of the winter time, but yeah as said it just dusted the mountains while in the valley floor it was just rainy and the like. I remember seeing a lot of snow but that was from the Blackhawk taking us from Jbad to Bagram, and then went home for my leave.
