Well Spud, turns out you're not just another pretty face  . Nice going. That fixed it. If you are flying outside the Orbx fat regions and not crossing into them, UNcheck Hybrid. You'll get good winter textures then. Thanks again man! |

Thought the idea was - if you check 'hybrid', there's no need to be changing the setup regardless of where you fly.

Hopefully they find the texture problem and do a fix. I fly out of SAK into other regions of Alaska, so using hybrid mode is critical for me.

I've never done a comparison with it on vs with it off. Have you seen a difference Scott? I'd be interested to see what they are with it on and off. Thanks.

Well I just fired up and took another - still in 'Hybrid' and it sure looks like winter to me. Not a lick of non-winter textures, will stay with what I have.  Here's essentially the same shot with 'Hybrid' unchecked. Both without my usual fiddling but I do like the one with 'Hybrid' checked (top) better.  |

I haven't really done a comparison either. I have had mine set at hybrid for awhile now. I frequently fly out of SAK into non-fat Alaskan areas like Fairbanks, Kodiak, and King Salmon. I figured hybrid was the best option if I did that regularly. I did switch off hybrid mode to take a look around. I flew out of Fairbanks again, and I didn't see the green patches I saw this morning. I'm not sure what affect this might have on my fat regions. I might be able to do some more comparisons tomorrow, work stuff keeping me busy right now  -Scott |

I thought the way it worked was as long as one stays inside of the fat regions, hybrid needs to be checked. If one ventures outside of the fat regions, the hybrid needs to be unchecked. Is that a true statement?

Is that a true statement? BP;) Nope. It's the other way 'round. Hybrid is supposed to allow you to fly from the "fat" regions into the "not-fat" regions without strange anomalies at the frontiers. At least that's the way I understand it. |

Well, I can see quite a few for the area in the first image, but hey, if they don't bother you, then go with whatever you like best  . |

I dunno, I see lots of green in those shots. Maybe there's underground fires or something?  I think summat has gone pear-shaped. |

Yeah, the top shot is green on green. The bottom is green on white, which is how it should be. Those are extreme wide angle shots so they won't show detail very well, but when at a "normal" zoom level the summer textures are very obvious as you cross them. When Hybrid is unchecked, you get the green "evergreens" (there's logic for you ) on the snow covered ground, which is how it should be. That looks fine up close. With the summer textures, you get the green trees on green/brown ground, and that kills it. It's a patch of summer amid a sea of winter. You can see what I'm referring to in the shots I put up. |

At least that's the way I understand it. Fritz, that's almost right but just the reverse. Hybrid mode is so you can fly FROM a non fat region INTO a fat region without having to stop the sim and select the fat region. There will be some very slight "irregularities" that are really not noticeable. All that being said Hybrid mode WILL allow you to fly out of fat regions into the 'FSX world' as well with proper textures being shown. The greenie areas Glenn et al are seeing is indeed an incorrect texture call apparently from the Hybrid mode selection. Of course flying that far east one normally would not really need to use the Hybrid mode as all ORBX 'full fat regions' are all in the west. Eventually this will not be true but for now it applies. In normal use for me I fly Global/Hybrid to cover all modes and areas in North America. I only tried the 'Global only' to check for differences in the green displays which indicates that Hybrid is calling incorrect textures and this will be addressed according to Holger's post. |

FWIW - found this on a non-Orbx forum
PAJN to CYTZ - Hybrid Mode Enabled - Departing from Orbx region to non Orbx region
PAJN to PAYA - Hybrid Mode Disabled, FTX Central set to North America - Flying within an Orbx region
PAJN to YPAD - Hybrid Mode Enabled - Departing Orbx region, leaving Orbx region, entering different Orbx region
The plot thickens.
