Looks good.

If your goal is simply to keep the default costline from showing through, then the simplest, least painful, and least time consuming way of doing it remains adler58's suggestion.

What's the airport that these are near? Are the towers by any chance a part of that airport's BGL?

Looks like the missing texture alert has alerted you that the missing texture is: sunglow2.bmp. Don't have REX4 myself, so I can't speak to whether or not it's a REX4 issue.

Does this mean that you let MS do the fix? If so, you might want to go back and follow the fix it myself steps on the site: LetMeFixItMyselfAlways . You're likely to get more positive results. Rich

In my experience that usually means that either 1) the TIFF file name doesn't match what's in the INF or 2) while the file name is correct, I've accidentally saved it to a different directory so that it isn't found. If nothing else has changed, a third option might be that the TIFF file is in a format that the compiler can't use. I think that's happened to me once or twice, too, when I've been playing around with the TIFF Save settings.

The blend mask is a mask. You don't combine it with any other image to get a 3rd. Here's a reduced JPG example of one of my TIFF masks to blend the default FSX scenery into the photoscenery: Pure black lets the FSX scenery show through, while pure white allows you to see the photoscenery. In this case the photoscenery is on the right side of the area. This particular area is along a coast. Rich

Have you tried copying the install files to your HD and installing from there? Also, when's the last time you rebooted your computer. That alone has solved more than one odd FSX related issue in the past.
-
Sure. Think of photoscenery as a layer of paint. You're just placing your scenery on top of it. Kind of like placing furniture on a painted floor.

Made some progress on this last night. Can get the autogen to show up through the ground bgls but not with all the other files installed as well. So there is something else interfering. Hopefully I'll have some time later today or tomorrow to investigate further. This is a nice piece of scenery.

Isn't that a script someone wrote for Autohotkey. I think I was using it for awhile. Don't have time to check it out right now but, hopefully, this afternoon after I get home from work.

You need to create sloping flattens to blend the airport flatten into the surrounding terrain. Basically, start another flatten at one corner of the airport flatten and extend it further from there. I normally use several additional flattens as I work my way around. You then enter the correct altitude for each point in the new flatten. Unfortunately, I'm at work and not at my computer to doublecheck this next part. You have to deselect (I believe) a box in the flatten dialogue that sets a single altitude (the default setting) for all points before you can set separate altitudes. I normally create the flatten that I want to have sloping, then with FSX slaved to ADE, have the aircraft move to the point I want to set, read the altitude, and write it into that point's dialogue. Then move to the next and so on.

Sure. I'll create it for you later today. Have some other work to finish up first. Rich

No, it was a clean install. From what I've read, the OS won't actually allow the files to be written because they are older than the existing DirectX install even though the program in question (FSX in this case) thinks it's doing it. If that's the case, then the 9.0C libraries (or whatever they're called) weren't completely installed for some reason, when I installed Win7. Anyway, the solution, once I stumbled onto it, was quite simple. In researching, I'd seen people advised that they needed a new video card, needed to completely reinstall FSX, update their video card drivers, etc. And, of course, the response was that the advice was followed but hadn't solved the problem.
