Who made the Sahara green?

So I am trying to start my own FS9 Russian freight company in the african sahara using old An-2s, An-12s, and An-26s. For those of you who do not know many ex-CIS freight pilots are working in Africa in terrible conditions. Some have managed to fuel their ships and fly them back to Russia. Look it up on youtube, their stories are fascinating.

But the bloody desert has green textures all over it! I spend $16 to buy FSScene-Africa for FS9, but the desert is still green, no matter what season of the year!

I like the yello/tan textures that FSX uses for deserts. Is there somehow I can have similar, more realistic (?) textures for the African desert?
Thanks,
Sid
 
Give us an ICAO. I took off from Timbuktu, summer. Slight greenish tint. Didn't look too verdant. Not the gold or reds you see in the SW USA. I agree, should be a tan sand color.
 
Who made the Sahara green? The Peace Corps....ya know, those hippy do gooders who have been going off to poor parts of the world since the 60s, digging wells, digging irrigation ditches, building schools, teaching the native people to grow corn and peas and hemp and other such plants.

Peace Corps HA HA

Thanks OBIO.

BTW I found desert textures and now the sahara looks beautiful in its arid glory. So I am happily gun running with my Russki birds in Africa.
