Tomato Shade affecting some airport textures? (FSDT KLAX)

Featured Replies

I have the latest version of Tomato Shade installed. I did a flight yesterday to KLAX, where the ground textures were very strange - they looked almost like silver paint all over the ground. Went to the FSDT forum and noticed another post about the same issue. The response was the Tomato Shade made be modifying shaders the ground textures use and giving it this strange look. 

Anyone else experience this and was able to fix? What's the solution? 

Appreciate the help. thanks

I get this with all FSDT airports that I have, including the new KORD.

Has anyone ever figured out which option in Tomato is making this silvery effect at FSDT's KLAX?

Try turning off Extended Reflection Rendering in Advanced Reflections see if it helps.

Yeah, that was it... but that's also kind of the main function of Tomato Shade. Guess I just won't fly into FSDT airports at night.

The Extended Reflection rendering is for use mainly with aircraft reflections profiles, it is not needed when you just want the scenery textured. I don't use it much anymore because so many planes are now coming with PBR.
