ACTIVE Default airports change for the worse

[JoHubb]

Since I installed my Orbx sceneries my Europe FSX default airports have taken on this horrible greenish background. Even Sochi (URSS) has it. 

I do not know if it is due to Orbx or something else but it reminds me of FS98.

I have these scenery programs:

 

FTX Global - inactive

FTX Europe - active

 

Orbx England; Scotland, Wales, N.Ireland, Eire 

Orbx EGFF, EGHI, EGKA

 

The Orbx sceneries are at the top of the Scenery Library i.e. highest priority. 

 

UTX is completely disabled.

REX runways are not active

 

I'd be grateful for advice on how to put this right. 

 

Apart from this strange effect at airports, I love the Orbx scenery.  I fly VFR linked to Sky Demon so I can appreciate just how good Orbx is when it matches the VFR charts and what I see out the window.

Great stuff!

I activated Global FTX and disabled Europe FTX. I installed UTX again in the Scenery Library. Italy looks a lot better.

 

The title 'Europe FTX'  is confusing as the coverage is not all of Europe - only those bits which have regional Orbx scenery installed.

John,

There are several threads about green airport pads caused by FTX Global Base.

Here's one I started last year: http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/64600-green-airport-pads-in-deserts-with-ftx-global-fix-coming/?hl=%2Bgreen+%2Bairport+%2Bin+%2Bdesert

I don't think the problem is going to be fixed until openLC comes out.  I still don't understand how it all works and why there are clearly "blended" airport pads in default FSX, but not in FTX Global Base.  I love Orbx products, but the green airport pads seem like an ugly blot on an otherwise great product IMHO.

Thanks.  I got rid of the green pads by re-activating UTX Europe. Also, the airports now blend better with the surrounding landclass in cities.  Am away from PC at the moment but will post pics.
