if we plan to commit the new texures for the next build, something has
to be fixed regards the deserts of the world.
have not looked at all the world's regions, but the high desert of
California is all wrong. from palmdale to edwards to george to mojave
not a speck of sand in sight! and all the dry lake beds show up in
blue! granted there are times (winter rains) when a few feet of water
does occur but most of the time they're dry. -- which by the way is the
reason the dry lake beds make such excellent landing areas -- an
omni-directional runway on a smooth, flat surface hard as concrete after
the water evaporates
Same holds true for most of the southwest US, white sands New Mexico is
not white and the the Grand Canyon is a verdant forest green, and the
great dunes of Colorado look more like the corn fields of Nebraska.
Hard to recognize the terrain of Nevada and Utah, looks more like the
southeast US
some of the problem might be the way the map data is encoded, but seems
that the older textures from a few revisions back seemed to work better
producing brownish and reddish desert-like colors. Something has to be
amiss.... can't imagine the USGS being that far off in encoding land use
data or whoever is responsible for defining such attributes.
