I haven't yet flown in South America with FTXG, but I am sure someone who has will reply. While I am not 100% sure, I believe FTX Global would fix your issue (Although I am not 100% sure as I am not sure if they would just replace the default desert textures with modified desert sand textures and you would still end up with a desert base texture.

Luckily, FTX bought out FTX Blue and regions for the rest of Australia which fixed the issue. When I first loaded up FSX 7 years ago and found Sydney, Australia looking like the middle of the Sahara desert I was bitterly dissapointed. Do they improve generic textures areas for South America / Brazil, for example? Should I expect less desert areas in Brazil? I think we’re going to need a bigger wall.I like very much FSX in spite of some problems I had with this program.Īnyway, I noticed that FSX exaggerates sand/desert textures even in tropical areas (in my country for example).Īctually, sometimes flying in the tropical interior of Brazil looks like being in the Arizona or Texas State.įirst question is there a freeware fix for this problem?Īlso, I read very good reviews about FTX, REX textures for FSX. Or maybe I’ll do 4 compositions arranged 2x2.perhaps 6 arranged 2x3.maybe even 9 arranged 3x3.

I plan to compile some of these images of sand texture into a triptych - 3 compositions side-by-side or one on top of the other to form a beautiful wall art piece that brings the texture of the Kelso Sand Dunes indoors. They aren’t in-your-face like my more typical epic landscape photography, but their subtlety and near-abstractness is perfect for interior decorating. I personally like these types of compositions. The result is a multi-colored painting of sand and wind that even the finest artist couldn’t create. This fact is evident all over the dunes where a strip of black sand will crown the top of a crest or line the valleys of sand ripples like a black highlighter drawn along their edge. It seems one of these types of sand is heavier than the other. The real interesting part comes in how the wind separates the black sand from the beige sand. I presume the black sand comes from the volcanic rock of nearby cinder cones which has been eroded down to granules and transported by the wind onto these mammoth piles of sand. They are transient and temporary, a fact that makes photographing them all the more special.Īt the Kelso Sand Dunes in the Mojave National Preserve, you’ll find faint layers of black sand mixed in with the more common beige variety. And like an etch-a-sketch, each one of these sculptures is shaken clear and re-formed with passing time. It’s simply remarkable that this is what mother nature creates when she’s left alone. It’s nothing more than a side effect of a natural weather phenomenon. The most interesting thing about these ripples and textures is that they are formed entirely by wind alone. They’re like the grooves in your fingerprint - each one is different and yet they all look pretty much the same at first glance. The ripples are simultaneously perfectly ordered and utterly random.

I also find that shooting in the square film format and using my camera handheld (as opposed to my usual tripod method) makes photographing this sand texture all the more fun. That’s why I did a lot of it on this trip. The range of Diorama Effects offers the modeler everything. I think I could photograph the ripples in these sand dunes for days and never get bored. of the dry sand of the desert or the dark earth of the wooded landscapes of central Europe.
