You do not need to lose all you pilots or settings when you reinstall ... use Robert Wiggan's pilot backup utility and all that can be kept safe and restored.

Thanks, ive been using a few there already! Maybe i could use the terrain mods to overcome my problem, as it is now 2nd Dec and i still have summer grounds with autumn trees. A quickflight though, i can successful set ground to full winter and that works. Now i only need it to work in a career.

That seems like something is still 'broken'. If you set a quick flight session to 'winter' and specify snow then you should see snow, no exceptions.

dawnpatrol;

I would like to suggest you disable all mods, JSGME or other types and try flying stock WOFF to see if your problem is still there. If it is, I would suggest a full re-install as per the instructions in the FAQ and then fly stock WOFF to see if the problem still exists.
Any time you install WOFF or apply an upgrade you must ensure that all mods are removed before beginning the installs. It's the best way to isolate if a problem is in the stock WOFF install or the result of some mods you have applied.

I hope these instructions help you to resolve your problem. Keep us posted on your progress

Best Regards

Then i have a real problem because: Before my per FAQ section 17 clean uninstall, i had woff pe with terrain mod. After uninstall, and deleting of all subdirs, i did a clean install and have autumtrees. Then there *must* be an graphic cache somewhere not known to me, and that is not under username/roaming and not in any game dir.

I still wonder: What is the time stamp for full winter? In career page, it is still "autum" in 12th december 1916. Maybe the problem lies herein. The status autum should have switched to winter already, no?

Not sure how the game does it, but in real life the first day of winter is around December 21.

I would suggest to stop focusing on career (where weather is variable and unpredictable) and test instead in "quick combat" section where you can set the ground cover directly and easily. If you can't see correct snow cover etc there, then something remains broken.

If broken you will probably want to try the reinstall again, being very careful to follow the recommended procedure exactly. Reinstall methodically (install basic WOFF, test, install PE expansion, test, install skin pack, test, install mods, test).

Hope you get it figured out!!

Yes and make sure you deactivate any mods you have active, before starting any install process.

Hi sorry I’m coming to this a bit late, I had exactly the same about three /four weeks ago. I just reinstalled The dx9 from the the WOFF tool box and it all went completely back to normal... hope it works for you!

Good one, a good DirectX 9 install is vital to WOFF running well (detailed in the FAQ)
