A number of small defects fixed in Valley.

Kudos Marty and Fred for reporting the problems and suggesting new features.

You don't need to start YoWindow in debug mode to access Valley now.

Hi Yura!

Thank you for this new landscape! For many locations in Austria the alpine landscape is the most suitable one!

One remark: i'm not sure if leaves should be available. It depends, but in general i think in alpine landscapes there are more conifers without leaves than deciduous trees.

What do you think?

Played a little bit with the new Alpine landscape and found the following bug:

For Vienna, Austria I go to the future - Dec, 11 - and selected a time close after midnight then i get the following picture: dark as expected:

when i advance in time only a minutes later the picture get too bright for close after midnight:

Maybe it has something to do that the situation changes from cloudy (Wolkig) to mostly cloudy (Überwiegend bewölkt)?

The same for Mansfield, Ohio (dark night, one minute later, (edit: ok, 2 minutes ) brighter night):

Hmmm. Either it's the time or it's the cloud coverage.

When there's Moon in the sky, the snow should reflect its light.
When it's Mostly cloudy, the Moon is visible.
Because of this the Moon light is cast on the landscape.
But it is too much bright in case of Mostly Cloudy.
It seems we need to decrease the brightness by 50% or even more.
I'm going to take care about it as soon as I have time.

Thanks, Reinhart!

Hi Pasha!

What a great great landscape!!! I was waiting for this for years Thank you very much!!!!

I have a little suggestion, but I don't know if this is easy to implement or not:
When you have a cloud cover > 5/8, is it possible to cover some of the higher mountains with clouds so that you cannot see the peaks? Or perhaps even better: in dependency of the humidity (cloud height = (temperature - dewpoint) * 125, not exact but better than nothing )

One of the features that is planned, but I doubt it will be available soon.

Hi Pasha,

What happened to the holly leaves in Christmas Countdown?
The holly leaves are missing on my Win8.1.

Looks like the leaves were deleted.
I hope to find time to fix it.
Thanks for reporting!
