SW USA Desert textures.

Any suggestions for replacement desert textures for the SW USA? The default textures are WAY TOO washed out and pasty looking. I'd like something with a bit more tans and browns with more desert vegetation mixed in.
 
Ground Environment X plus some better landclass like scenerytech or Ultimate Terrain X would help considerably.

About a year ago, someone at AVSIM came out with some cool alternative desert textures. I have no idea who did them though. I like them.

[FONT=verdana, sans-serif]Created to modify the existing textures in FSX to offer a better representation of AB, BC, AK mountain regions, and reduces the amount "desert" texture look overall. The small batch file simply copies and renames better existing textures from within FSX - to be applied for these regions. Overall it reduces the amount of light desert textures, gives you more rock where there was sand, provides a greener sub base and transitions, darker mountian slides, and reduces the plain white snow coverage in the mountains allowing more rock to be shown. Blocky shadows in snow are now minimal, due to the snow textures changes and contrast in terrain. Updated - This version superceeds the original version 1.0a, and is for both new and previous installations. Existing users please download this updated version and follow the instructions within the readme. [/FONT]

The small batch file simply copies and renames better existing textures from within FSX - to be applied for these regions. Overall it creates a more green desert shrub texture, (better representing the cacti,shrubs etc), getting progressivly thicker up to the dry woody scrub. This is a continuation of my Mountain & Desert Texture mod in an attempt to offer a temporary fix until better/alternate textures are available. [/FONT]
