The golf course does not look like what Orbx has posted. I am not for sure why it looks this way. Just looking to get some help in how to fix this issue. I am only running FTX Global and So Cal scenery. Thanks for your help in getting this figured out. I have attached a couple of pictures. One is from Orbx and the other  one I took while I was flying around Las Vegas.Ni9Mh3_2b389c13e73a263360ff2cd5afb1aaf0.

Not sure if you have tried turning it off yet (or figured out how to do it), so even though it's explained in the SCA PDF User's Manual, the wording of it may be confusing to some people.

 

Turning it off means being able to Uncheck it in the Scenery Library.  You can't do that before changing a setting in the Scenery.cfg file.

 

1.  Open the Scenery.cfg file with Notepad (or a similar TEXT ONLY editing program).

 

2.  Scroll down to the Las Vegas entry and change the Required=TRUE entry to Required=FALSE.  (The TRUE is what prevents you from being able to "uncheck" it in the Scenery Library in the sim). Save and close the Scenery.cfg file.

 

3.  Now start the sim, go to the Scenery Library, UNCHECK the Las Vegas entry (the one BELOW the Addon Scenery one...it's the default Las Vegas you want to turn off).  Click OK and let the Scenery Library rebuild.  Then go see if it "fixed" what you are looking at in your picture.

 

ORBX recommends you do the same for the Edwards AFB entry too.  Both recommendations are in the SCA User's Manual.

If you are using the Gold, Acceleration, or Steam-Edition versions of FSX, or any of the P3D versions, you'll have two default entries in your scenery library menu named "Edwards_AFB" and "Las Vegas", respectively. Both contain local photoreal ground textures. You should deactivate the "Edwards_AFB" entry as FTX NA SCA includes much larger and more recent photoreal coverage of the Air Force Base (KEDW). Deactivating the "Las Vegas" entry is optional; the default photoreal coverage doesn't blend well with the surrounding SCA landclass textures but better matches the location of the default casino models and also has brighter nightlighting. Note: if the checkbox for either entry is greyed out you will first need to load the active scenery.cfg file into either Wordpad or Notepad, search for the entry, and change the [Required=TRUE] line to [Required=FALSE]; the active scenery.cfg file is located in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\FSX or C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v{#}, respectively).

 

 

I have no idea how to do any of this LOL
