Hi.Can anyone please tell me whether the seasonal ground textures in FS8 are same as those in FS9? In other words, are the tiles essentially identical in appearance and will they trigger expected forms of autogen scenery? As such, would the FS8 textures work in exactly the same manner if placed in FS9?Cheers,Matthew.

Hi Matthew,Its been a big problem and common complaint(especially in the UK) that Fs9 is not much different to Fs2002, and some of that is true for e.g. textures. However more airports have been added and historical planes,interactivge VC, etc...I'm afraid this is one of those things that Microsoft didn't change much, I don't know why.In answer to your second question, if you have texrtures please try and let us know if it works(if you have any problems just re-install).Hope this helps,Jason.I

Hi Jason.Thanks for the reply.I don't really have any complaints. I had a project in mind, which would have been made easier if the textures were interchangeable. If the collection of ground texture tiles is identical, that that's good for my purposes. I thought that increased autogen density in FS9 might be indicative of some changes to the tiles, although this might simply relate to how the tiles are recognised and processed by FS.Cheers,Matthew.
