Mithras Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Just noticed in England, rest of Europe and NA desert out on the horizon. When I pull back, I see this ... South America is fine. I've run the FTX Configurator exe and the FTX LC Configurator exem with no luck. It may have happened after I reinstalled Australia, I can't be sure. When I untick Australia in my FSX scenery list, there is no change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mithras Posted November 17, 2016 Author Share Posted November 17, 2016 I've checked my scenery order, my LC entries are above Edwards AFB, and my FTX regions are above the LC entries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holger Sandmann Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Hi Paul, nothing wrong with your setup, it's the same for everybody. What you've noticed aren't deserts but rather the "infamous" default sand-colored winter landclass textures for mid latitudes. Beyond the radius of high-detail landclass, as determined by the Level of Detail slider in the display settings menu, both FSX and P3D load crude maps of the globe, namely the "image_globe_{..}.bgl" files located in \Scenery\World\Scenery (see screenshots of winter vs. summer of one of those files below). Their seasonal coloring is meant to match the coloring of the default landclass textures, hence the stark contrast to the Orbx replacement textures during some months. Fortunately, in most flight situations, flight level and/or weather conditions hide the sharp edge between the detailed landclass and the "painting" in the background. Cheers, Holger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mithras Posted November 17, 2016 Author Share Posted November 17, 2016 Ah, thanks Holger, I feel stupid! I've never seen it before on my airline flights over Europe. I'll investigate other months of the year! Thanks very much for your reply! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
