I was disappointed to see GEX did not alter the airport textures now it looks like I am going from a rainforest to the desert when I land? Any programs or alterations available? THanks for the help

Being worked on. :-)

Yes, as mentioned, they are working on this, I believe with the Ultimate Terrain folks....but I could be wrong.I keep saying it, but this also has much to do with landclass. I tried 4 different landclasses, in addition to the default, and all showed the airport areas differently. Some landclass are quite bad in regards to the 'desert look', while some get rid of it almost completely.

Hi Jason, a big update for GEX is almost done, which will include beautifully blending ground airport textures, matched with UTX (highway interchange textures, powerlines,etc), new and optional SW USA desert colors, the (missing from the original release) replacement rock / landslide textures for the 81B's and numerous autogen enhancements and fixes based on the feedback by the users at the Flight1 Ground Environment X Simforums. This is an ongoing and continous process to enhance FSX beyond the limits thought possible.We are also working on a FAQ on the simforums to, for example, guide users how to setup their different landclass and terrain enhancement products like UTX so that GEX is shown in it's full potential.

Thanks I'll keep an eye out

Good news indeed. Thnaks for the heads up.
