REX & Orbx User Getting Asphalt RWY instead of Grass !

Featured Replies

Hi,

I have a question for anyone familiar with addon scenery in FSX.

I have REX Essentials (for airport ground textures, aprons, runways, water and sky/clouds/weather) and Orbx FTX Global, Vector, Open LC and a slew of addon Orbx regions and airports.

Recently I have downloaded a few freeware scenery packs (KCRS, ME55 by falcon409 over at SimOuthouse), both of which are grass airstrips. Upon download and install in my FSX, I notice no grass strips present but a carefully placed asphalt runway with no markings lying on top of the area where the grass strip(s) would normally be. The scenery creator insists I must have some duplicate airport entries for these 2 airports, hence I see the asphalt textures which he says are most likely from another scenery pack. I have no other scenery for these 2 airports anywhere. Simple Airport Scanner by ScruffyDuck also found no duplicate entries for these 2 airports.

So what is it in my FSX install, which insists on installing asphalt runways into scenery which has no such thing ?

Below are a couple of pics of ME55 Mary Talbot Memorial Airport showing the asphalt runway overlaying the grass strip :

BTW, the FSX Default strip (with REX and ORBX Base,Vector,Open LC only) looks like this :

Here is a link to a thread I have at SOH regarding the same asphalt runway issue over at KCRS :

Hi, Milan!  Fancy seeing you over here!  I'll take a look and see what shows up on my non-ORBX Sim.:happy:  Did not see a download for ME55!

Hi Charlie,

Yes, I'm here, Orbx, and SOH mostly.

(BTW ME55 is in the SOH library ....... search author falcon409 and all of his stuff comes up, or look for Mary Talbot Memorial airport.)

Like I said, someone (something) is putting asphalt runways on top of many of my freeware airstrips and it bothers me not knowing how to fix it. 

Hoping the knowledgeable folks here will offer some help. 

Milan .....

Sorry, searched through all 9 pages of Ed's uploads and the only reference to Mary Talbot Memorial airport was a "seasonal texture" package. I have the KCRS and it looked OK!
