Why do my runways, taxiways, aprons and taxiway markings look different to those shown in the FS2004 screenshots, especially for KSDF and KMSP?
In order to enhance the realism of the FS2004 version of the simulator, we have modified the default textures for concrete runways, taxiways, aprons, and taxiway markings. We just do not like the default “gray” looking concrete. It has been a real challenge, but we think we have finally found a color combination that provides a more “earthly” tone to the concrete. This color is inspired by the color of the massive tarmac at KDFW that I have spent endless hours staring at thinking: “The simulator concrete does not look at all like this concrete”. The concrete and taxiway marking textures shown in our FS2004 screenshots are available in the downloads section of this web page. If you decide to download and install our textures, please make sure that you make backup copies of the original MSFS textures. Also, please be aware that if you install our concrete and runway marking textures, they will be applied to all FS2004 sceneries that use the default textures.
