I _think_ (which means: I'm not entirely certain because I've never tried the contrary) that material types are case sensitive. Thus, according to TerraGear's 'src/BuildTiles/Clipper/priorities.cxx' as well as the 'materials.xml' file (in the Base Package), "Drycroppasturecover" should be "DryCropPastureCover". Otherwise they're likely going to get mapped to the "Default" type, which actually points to the same texture as - surprise, surprise - "EvergreenBroadCover". > I found the page http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/LandcoverDB_CS_Detail but it > doesn't seem to answer my question... Indeed. This page serves as a communication aid for a _future_ nomenclature of land cover types (yet it's classification is already being partially honoured by nowadays Scenery developers). Note that this document aims at dealing with just the 'raw' data, the 'true' land cover type. Whatever you feed into *-decode should finally get translated into one of FlightGear's valid material type via the "--area-type" flag.
