Help changing FSX textures to 'Black' please.

Hi,

This probably sounds really odd but I'm trying to make the water, terrain, and sky all BLACK. Nothing else, just black. I would want to keep the directional sunlight though so that the aircraft would be lit when using an external view. Not much good for flying I know but it's related to large amounts of aircraft screen shots and the need to automatically remove any background.

Thought someone here might know a bit about messing with standard FSX textures etc.

Look forward to any replies,

Andrew

Hi Andrew. I suppose you could draw areas with FSX KML then assign them a landclass poly entitled "Black Sandy Beach". I've used this before to create black dirt farmland and might work for you? With the water you would have to exclude the water poly first, then create a new landclass poly. With the sky one would almost have to edit the texures with Photoshop or something. I'm a noob to design so there might be a better way?? Let us know how it turns out.
