hi,as a picture speaks a thousand words...does anybody know what causes this?this is not the only block of grey,a few miles further there's another.this is using FS2004,RJGG_V2.zip.i've tried a number of things but i dunno what this is,thus my efforts are fruitless.cheersJp.

I'm sorry, but I don't think it's clear what "this" is. Please be more specific.Gary

Jan,Although I do not see what you are pointing out (not clear from pic), but from what I understand certain scenery attributes will not work in FSX like solid colour lines.Shez

[JP_Visser 3]

i'll make it clearer by some more pictures then :)i have more pictures,it seems most airports are now surrounded by a big taxiwaytexture.it IS textured,but not how it should be.any suggestions?this is in japan using a freeware mesh scenery and some freeware airports.only addon airport working is RJAF,the ones looking like this are all around Tokyoi have removed stuff,upped en downed layer numbers,etc,but i can't figure it out.appreciate help.oh and Shez,my pc would immediately turn into smoke if i ran fs-x on it :)system:xp pro,amd1800xp palomino,768mb pc2100,GF 4 TI4200,nothing overclocked or modded.cheersJP.

Interesting, so this is in FS2004 then. Looks like some rogue polygon.Shez

Hallo Jan,That gray is not a taxiway texture, but rather a fallback color. It looks like the game cannot find the correct textures there.This situation is typical of missing custom (photo-real) ground textures. Do these airports by any chance include custom ground textures around the airports? If so, they are either missing or not installed correctly.Best regards.Luis

[JP_Visser 3]

thanks guys,i'll investigate further,but afaik these airports do not use custom ground textures.i may however be wrong.but,that gray stuff IS a texture,i see them filling in so it's not untextured.it's just...well...gray :/it's kinda strange,and sad too,'cos i really like flying around Japan.back to the detective work it is.i'll report back :)cheersJP.

J,I think Luis is onto something..It's either a missing photo texture or a landclass problem...Does it use a custom LC file? Does it use a photo texture?RhettAMD 3700+, eVGA 7800GT 256, ASUS A8N-E, PC Power 510 SLI, 2 GB Corsair XMS 3-3-3-8, etc. etc.

yep so do i Rhett,but sofar i have not found anything yet.the search continues however,and i have it at least narrowed down to one of those 2,so i should be able to solve it.however,afaik none of my sceneries use LC or custom textures,but,there are some strange files inthere.on to search more.thanks guys,and please,keep the suggestions coming :)cheersJP.
