Just wondering what can cause these green patches at the airport. I haven't installed a scenery package for this airport. I've only seen these green patches at this airport. Could an AFAD file for this cause this?

Thanks

Looks like something on the ground textures, possibly in the photoreal ones used at the major airports by MS. I bet if you turned that off in the add on scenery settings, those green spots would disappear.

I did go look at my KPHX, but forgot that I'm using an add on scenery that turns that photoreal ground texture off so I can't see if I've got the green spots or not.

Turning off the Phoenix Photo real in the flight sim made it go away.

Actually, green patches are areas of concrete /tarmac which are painted green
representing 'grass' to discourage Pilot's from taxi-ing on them...usually because they will not support the weight
of a fully laden aeroplane

so, no, not a scenery error
