These new textures for FSX enhance your default ground airport textures. This package contains all-new high detailed taxiway textures, ground textures, and all new taxiway line textures.
The new ground textures give a more realistic illusion of rocks, grass, etc. Autogen as well as taxiways, will now look more realistic and "in place" since they are no longer over a low-resolution detail 1.bmp file.
The new taxiway line textures (or taxi lines as I call them) make your default taxi lines look even more realistic. Now you will see environmental weathering effects such as cracks and holes on the taxi line paint. And finally, the new taxiway textures upgrade the default FSX ones.
Every detail, crack, and pebble was carefully analyzed and created with the aid of hi-res sources.

Does this include changing the texture of the landing strip or not?
The only flaw is that taxiways don't tile very well--artifacts are noticeable at low altitudes, say 30 ft above taxiway.
Very nice package, adds great scenery to the ground when I taxi and land, and looks realistic compared to looking at the ground at airports put of a window during taxi, takeoff, and landing.
I love these textures, but there's one thing that bugs me. IT seems as though the turns are still default taxiway lines. I dont know if this is because I installed it wrong or something, but i think i did it correctly. Thanks for the awesome textures. Thanks!
