silpheed Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Hi there, I know you react somewhat allergic to issues starting with "too green", but despite all the progress and improvement after installing FTX Global I am somewhat dissapointed by the fact that airports in SW USA start exhibiting underlying green grass textures. One such example is KAEG. In default FSX, the base texture under the airport is desert-like, whereas it appears like an oasis after switching to FTX Global. I saw there is continuing mentioning of this issue all around, but I haven't found any remedy. I have looked extensively through the forum and I only found one case which could be solved by switching to a FTX Freeware airport since it happened to be available. So I would simply like to know whether there is any general way to solve this issue at all, without getting rid of FTX Global. Thanks a lot!

B77X Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Will this be fixed in Vector 1.20? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolter van der Spoel Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 the color has nothing to do with Vector, that's texture tiles and this discussion has already being done a wee while back, to that there was an update for FTX Global base, so I'd say check that you have all updates and patches and do not forget to run the latest library files last. all updates and patches available here => https://fullterrain.com/support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silpheed Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 Thanks for your reply Wolter! Actually, I had installed the Global update to 1.20 right away, suspecting that it might help. However, it didn't. I have also installed the latest OrbX libs. Should the green be gone with 1.20? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B77X Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I have Global 1.30 base, reinstalled, and still get green around all default airports. Flying in the desert outside of Orbx regions is no fun with lush grass surrounding each airport. Am I doing something wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B77X Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Also this isn't just in the American SW for me, I installed an afcad file for OMDW in Dubai and the surrounding terrain is all lush green grass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
touchdown20 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I have the same problem... purchased, downloaded and installed FTX Global few days ago (so latest version of course) Isn´t this a simple problem with a simple solution? Seems to be only a "wrong" colored texture wich needs to be replaced no? edit: Order #FSS0350014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrblueskyy Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Yes, I too fly a lot in the American central and SW and find this to be a big flaw in an otherwise beautiful product. This seems like it could be solved. For the time being, I took the Airfield1 textures from my old texture installation. (They are the 139b2** in the sceney/world/texture folder). (Just make sure you back up all textures first!) When I fly in the SW I use these textures and when I'm someplace "green" I revert back to ORBX textures. I do share the sentiment that all textures in the sim world are too green in the USA no matter what season or textures you use. Most of the USA is nearly all brown in winter with many more deciduous trees (dead in winter) than is ever depicted. There are far less conifers in many areas. Farmland becomes very brown as early as late summer. I actually find the winter textures to look the most reaslstic for most of the seasons since there is green with brown mixed in so I often fly with my date set to January! I anxiously await NA OpenLC in hopes that many of these things will be addressed. I am sure the developers speak with real-world pilots like me who live & fly in the USA and know what things really look like out the window in all seasons! The sim is always going to be a compromise and Orbx is doing a very good job of trying to bring the most reality possible. cheers, Sam Order Number: FSS0335515 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silpheed Posted November 26, 2016 Author Share Posted November 26, 2016 I noticed recently (right before installing openLC NA) that this problem has vanished, maybe due to some FTX Global update. So if you like you can close this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
