So...If you are disappointed with the default, smooth, blurry, ground texture in FS 2004, its time to give this a try...>>>
Some rather nice grass!

Its obviously not 3D, but it does look quite good at ground level, and gives a nice, more realistic, "grainy" texture from the air!
In your FS 2004 Scenery/World/Texture Folder, create another Folder named; "Original detail1".
Look for the file; "detail1" and copy it into the new Folder for safe keeping.
Replace the original default; "default1" file with the new; "detail1" file, overwriting it.
Fire up FS 2004 and you are away, and prepare to wade through the grass with your Piper Cub's wheels... ;).... ;)...!
If you don't like the new detail1 texture, just replace it with your saved detail1 texture again.
Paul...time to fire up my trusty Petrol Lawn Mower again!... [smiley=vrolijk_1.gif]...!
As always, don't forget to back-up the original; "detail1" file first!
P.S..and for the ultimate experience, add Gerrish Gray's wonderful tree set...2.3 MB...(For FS 2002 but also works in FS 2004)...>>
