My textures, before they are rendered, are very dark and you get a distinct straight line defining rendered and non rendered and looks terrible. Is there a fix for this? Hopefully you see the examplein the attached image. Thanks for any help.

This looks like photographic VFR textures. Is that correct ?If so I would guess is that the mips images levels have differentcolouration - the photographic textures tend to be hand modifiedto get colours correct.

Have you changed your detail1.bmp/detail texture for anything but the default? if so try the same area but with the detail texture option on/offive seen this before with some highres details maps that dont have the right grey lvl balance/blend and due to that they end up effecting the tone of the underlayer texture maps

I did change the default grass texture for a high resolution one, PREALSOFT - GRASS ENVIRONMENT PRO Xhttp://secure.simmarket.com/prealsoft-grass-environment-pro-x.phtml Could this be the problem do you think? By the way, this problem happens with default scenery too.

HelloThats it you have nailed it, revert back to the default detail1.bmp and it will be back to normalbmp

yep that will be the file to blame then,and yes it will effect every default texture also as the detail bmp gets blasted over the top of every mesh ground textureid either ask the dev to fix it or failing that ask for my money back and use of of the many freeware detail maps out there LatersGizmo

Excellent news, thanks guys. Only problem, I never backed up the original. Is it possible to find the original on the FSX disc?

Glad its sorted and you can thank nickN for this link ;)http://gex.flight1.net/detail1.zip& just incase you want to get a refund and try some freeware grass details textures heres a few links http://sites.google.com/site/aimecreations/freeware-fsx/picnic-fsx-fs2004http://sites.google.com/site/aimecreations/freeware-fsx/grass-hdhttp://realenvironmentxtreme.com/REX_GRASSII.zipLatersGizmo

Many thanks omzig. I owe you a beer mate. Am I to assume that the link provided is the default replacement texture that I require?
