xAmbience Pro seasons system are ready to work with your scenery.
Before correct work, you need make some changes in your scenery and prepare textures.

TEXTURE PREPARATION
Before you place your textures correctly, you need to prepare them, bring them into a seasonal state.
Take a summer texture and run it through photoshop. We have developed special scripts for Photoshop to simplify the whole process. We provide this for free.
Please contact us for this kit. Email: info@hst.aero or Discord.

TEXTURE PLACING (LOCALIZATION)
After you prepare your textures according our kit, with which very by seasons, you will need to put your textures in folder.

Example: You have a scenery of London Airport. It is called "EGLL" in the Custom Scenery folder.
You need to create folders with the same names and the same subcategories as in your original scenery.
Essentially make 3 copies.

A copy with the textures of the SUMMER season you need to locate at:
"X-Plane 11\Resources\plugins\xAmbiencePro\Art\Ground\CustomScenery\summer"

All by analogy with the WINTER season.
A copy with project of the WINTER season you need to locate at:
"X-Plane 11\Resources\plugins\xAmbiencePro\Art\Ground\CustomScenery\winter".

So it is with the Spring & Autumn seasons.
A copy with project of the SPRING & AUTUMN season you need to locate at:
"X-Plane 11\Resources\plugins\xAmbiencePro\Art\Ground\CustomScenery\fall_sp".

That is, in fact these folders you should have copy of your own project.
Only textures should differ.

IMPORTANT! Textures must called by the same name, otherwise the reload system will not recognize it.
That is, they should not differ in names. That is, you should get something like this:
