The photo you linked does show some rust colors.

The issue is, we have basically two seasons (winter and non-winter) and we tried to find a non-winter color that doesn't look terribly out of place when used with both default and 3rd party landclass, so it's something in between the mostly brown (desert like) FSX default texture, and the more green appearance of 3rd party landclasses.

Hi Umberto, I have the same question: where in the scenery-rankings should the airport placed? Above Vancouver+ City & Landscape – Version 3.0 from Jon Patch and Holger Sandmann and above FTX_NA ?

You don't have to wonder about this: the installer places it on top of everything else, which is where it should stay. Airport scenery should always be on top of everything that *might* potentially cover the same area, that's a general rule that can be followed 99% of the times.

thanks for your reply....i was more referring to the summer photo on the bottom right.....green with some tan and very little rust color....but that's just me....others who live here will probably feel yours is correct....maybe i'll take a flight this summer and take a look  ;D...gee i haven't been on a plane for years and years....if it looks green, i'll come back tooting whistles, blowing horns and waving flags  ;D ;D

the airport is excellent!!!....but i sure hope you can adjust the spring and summer landscape color....from death valley to green....at least to more green than it is....don't know if i can afford the plane ride to check it out personally ;D
promise i won't bother you about this again  ;D
