I have noticed that apart from all the veg_*.dds files contained in the Scenery/Global/Texture directory, the FS9 legacy treesFA/SP/SW/SU/WI/HW.bmp still exist in the FSX/texture directory.Does anyone know when, if at all, these latter Trees*.bmp are used by the FSX sim, as opposed to those dds files contained in the Global/Texture directory.The reason that I ask, is that I find the trees in general to be too dark for the base textures and that they do not blend in too well. I was thinking of adjusting Lightness & Saturation, and also to aplly blur to them too, which I think might give a more natural look to them while flying. However, there are alot of the veg_*.dds to modify and if the Trees*.bmps are actually used when higher from the ground, then it may be effective to just adjust those.Any thoughts?Cheers, Stuart

Hello Stuart, As far as I can tell, those textures are no longer used. I have various substitute texture sheets for different parts of the world, in use since FS 2002, and they no longer do anything at all in FS X.Best regards.Luis

Thanks Luis, I did wonder if they were just legacy left-overs.Cheers,Stuart
