I just did a reinstall and my ground textures look kind of odd. I assume I had addon textures but can't remember installing them, let alone which ones they were. I've done a search but it's hard to narrow it down. Any thoughts? Thx!billg

How about BlueSphere ?Michael J.WinXP-Home SP2,AMD64 3500+,Abit AV8,Radeon X800Pro,36GB Raptor,1GB PC3200,Audigy 2http://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/747400.jpg

Michael, that rings a bell, hehe. But I've since installed the Flight Environment 2004 and am wondering if any of the Bluesphere files will overwrite the FE2004 ones. Hmmmm, this is about a 2 day job rebuilding the software on a computer, argh.

At fsgenesis.net, you can drill thru Downloads --> Freeware --> Landclass, and pick up the US Landclass Beta 6. The claim is that "Full coast-to-coast coverage of the mainland United States derived from the USGS NLCD", although as a naive landclass user I'm mystified how a 2.02MB file can have a profound effect on the ground textures.

Try these by Lennart Arvidsson at this page (last two items);http://library.avsim.net/search.php?Search...4scen&Go=SearchThey are really great textures

before you try lennart's, be advised they re hemisphere specific...so if you go back and forth you will have to use his file manipulator. no big deal, but just a heads up...and fwiw, just a personal opinion. I liked lennart's textures for fs2002, but I think we have better options for fs2004...Sherm

"...I think we have better options for fs2004..."And they would be????I am using Lennart's textures too and although the FScene textures are really good too (I have them for Oz/NZ), you can't beat the freeware price!I understood that Lennart is not going to make any more textures for FS9 and that is a great loss.Cheers,N.
