December 28, 201015 yr Alaska looks great in Tongass Fjords and Pacific Fjords scenery, but when you get up by Juneau, all the mountains turn from green to tan. I've tried a couple of landclass sceneries but no joy. Does anyone have a fix for this. I've watched PBS Over Alaska show, and Alaska is surprisingly green.
December 28, 201015 yr Are you looking at default scenery there (Juneau) or do you use UTX Alaska or something? You are outside of any OrbX coverage there.I'm just asking because I wouldn't give much on the default representation in FSX. UTX really is a tip then but I have to check it myself if "green" hits the spot up there.

December 28, 201015 yr From the description it actually does. Here are some of UT's exciting features: ALL THE ROADS: Every available road from the chosen commercial navigation data set, with each road accurately placed to match its real-world location. ENHANCED RAILROADS: Greatly enhanced railroads, including rail-yards. SPECTACULAR NIGHT LIGHTING: A new night lighting environment unlike anything else on the market. It adds actual 3D points of light to simulate street lights and automobiles (a functionality seen only in professional flight simulators, until now). DETAILED OCEANIC COASTLINES: Plus islands, lakes, rivers and streams. No more roads over water! ACCURATE LANDCLASS: Better representation of metropolitan areas. DETAILED LAND POLYGONS: Parks, golf courses, and cemeteries are much better represented. Their boundaries will align with the road boundaries, just like you see them on high quality mapping services and GPS units. But as they point out urban areas, you could well be right with the more rural ones lacking of some features. I remember some other landclass only products but they weren't made for Alaska I think.Maybe a scenery dev can give you some tips there, for just changing the landclass of Alaska to a more greener one.
