This realization is freeware and cannot be marketed. Includes the 4 seasons + hard winter. Every season (except summer) have been reprocessed in photoshop to recreate the flowering of spring, the colors ochres of autumn and snow in winter. These textures have no influence on the frame rate. As one can see it on the screen captures, they integrate rather well on the photorealists scenes of Belle-Ile (a beautiful Island off Brittany) and Quibéron (a near-island in Brittany as well). These textures modify neither the small bushes, nor the palm trees which remain of origin.

If you would like to put back in place your original tex, make a backup copy of the files

main directory:Textures in FS2004
Decompress the 5 files BMP in this directory, start FS2004, choose a timbered place, aseason and go on discovering these textures at will; at your own risk of course, I cannot take responsibility for any malfunction . Have fun!
Updates of the version alpha to the version beta: improved cut out of a fir tree which included a white contour. Removal of the parasitic features above certain trees. Modification of the color of flowerings in spring which tended too much to purple . Suppression of the appearance of snow on non-persistent trees in contradiction to a ground bare of any snow.
Update of the version beta to beta1: reclassification an uncommon tree (shaped as a ?) as a bush (less frequent) or addition of poplars in lieu (more frequent) .
BTW if you hit a foreign language text you can get a rough (very rough) translation in http://babelfish.yahoo.com/translate_txt
It is generally good enough to give you the gist of it, given redundancy of languages. I used it for this translation, copy/paste, and then corrected
the text when required, saves on typing too.
