tafische

I guess I was expecting a more dramatic difference between the runway texture and the ground/grass textures. I do have the A/C taxi lights on in those shots. Here is an example of another FSX user I saw -- which is more what I am trying to get to --

You are right on the runway...typo. Anyway - I have set REX for ground textures updating the concrete, grass, and asphalt but I really don't get much improvement no matter which profile I pick.

I am moving over from Xplane to FSX and trying to get it setup correctly. My biggest problem right now is that I am having difficulty with runways, taxiways and ramps not looking good at night. It is very difficult to tell the difference between the ground and taxiways/ramps as you can see by the images below. I am running FSX SE with REX4 on a very high end hardware set to pretty extreme on almost everything.. The images below are from SFO 28R. Any suggestions on what I can do to improve the night time views?
