FSX Grass Strip Textures

Grass strip runway textures refresh backcountry airfields with greener, more believable surfaces that better suit mountain and wilderness flying. Designed for Microsoft Flight Simulator X, the package replaces default files with converted FS2004-era artwork in modern DDS format, helping grass runways in places like Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming blend naturally with surrounding terrain.

Replacement back country grass runway textures. By Brent Ludlow.

Hopefully soon someone will come out with a new landclass map that gets rid of all the arid desert in the US but till then this is how I got the back country strips in UT, ID & WY to appear more like they really look. These go into your MSX/texture folder as replacements to make back country airpots that have grass strips look more real. They are the old textures from FS9 changed to DDS format.

Back up your org textures before replacing in case you don't like these. Extract to desktop and manual copy all 5 DDS files to - C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\textures.
