CFS2/Snow

I'm not sure exactly where I got this , but I do believe it works.

You can make up your weather in Free Flight and have it rain .. all you have to do to make it snow is go to the cloud.0 line and change the fourth number from the right from 1 to 2
(weather)
visibility.0=24140.16,0.00,2438.40
vis_layers_num=1
cloud.0=9,915.01,1524.00,99.67,2,0,0,1,0.00,3,0
cloud_layers_num=1

Hope this does it

As Otto points out, you can have snow by changing the "1" to a "2" as he describes.

The “snow” appears as white blobs, similar to rain only less distinct. No matter how heavy you set the precipitation you’ll only get a small amount of snow falling, less than if you had created rain. The snow won’t stick to your plane and it won’t accumulate on the ground. Still, if you have winter textures installed, it is better than nothing
 
Thanks otto
Thats another work around the problem.
Now I can save the cfg and make a short cut.
I am supprisedthis error within the game have not been fix properly over the years the game have been with us

I think changing the texture names work better.
Is interesting how people work around problems within the game.
