This is actually the data that has been used for the past Scenery releases, I don't think the textures are at fault. Try visiting this page: http://mapserver.flightgear.org/ .... in the "imgext" portion of the URL enter the lower left and the upper right corner of the box you are interested in (+/- a half degree is a good choice) and select the layers you want to see. This will tell you what the dataset actually provides for the respective region. In fact we currently don't have a definition for salt lakes - there are several more detailed landcover types in VMAP0 that we don't use, but no salt lakes.
