• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

The idea came to me as an. . ."I should have thought of this a long time ago". . .epiphany, lol.

Since I did not keep the original FSX default textures when I installed Orbx, I've never been able to correctly alter the colors of the satellite imagery to match the default for those who don't use Orbx products. The image below is a suitable alternative though. I removed the imagery and the autogen, added a simple airport background and then set to work adding back parking lots, roads and autogen to get the necessities to make it look the way I wanted. I still have a few things to tweak, but if anyone is interested I can make this available in a few days.

Personally I like this. . .enough so that I'm staying with this rather than the version with the photoreal ground texture and hand placed autogen vegetation.

Looks like you might be the only recipient, lol. I thought there might be others, but maybe the Orbx and other payware product users far outweigh those who still run default, lol. Easy enough then, I'll just zip it up and send you a link via PM.
 
I like the photoreal version Ed. Fly in and out of here all the time.:encouragement:

Hi Ed,

Living just down the road in Plano, I'd sure be interested! I'm a regular visitor to your KSWI (and other N. Texas airfields). :encouragement:


Regards,
Michael
