Yes, that's the case. FS2004 is shipped with a dozends of textures. But i don't see a big problem with this, because more different textures also allow more variety. Only from a high attitude, a user might see a repitive pattern. > > | > B | A > |------ > B B > > > | > C | A > -----|------ > B B It's exactly like in the game TetraVex. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TetraVex Screenshot example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Tetravex.png One square is one texture, and same numbers mean, that the textures match on their borders. But this doesn't mean that the left texture (let's say number 9) looks the same like the right texture (let's say number 9 too), the're not mirrored, they look different on the 9 fields, but they do match at the borders. > >From my prspective this approach isn't flexible enough. AFAIK this technique works only with regular grids.
