I tried editing the URL as you suggested, but the server keeps returning
to the "home" map that first comes up when entering the site. Tried
both the browser search and the refresh/query button on the webpage -
same result.
Then I copied the URL, did a hand edit, and dropped the result into a
new browser window, this time the operation timed out.
Is there any other way to specify the loction?
If someone has a moment, they might wish to confirm what I am seeing.
Try any of the following KMHV, KPMD, KEDW. all airports in the
California high desert supporting both civilian and military flight test
operations.
The texture database(s) from earlier releases (circa 2003-4) were
definitely of a desert quality.

some of the problem might be the way the map data is encoded, but seems
that the older textures from a few revisions back seemed to work better
producing brownish and reddish desert-like colors. Something has to be
amiss.... can't imagine the USGS being that far off in encoding land use
data or whoever is responsible for defining such attributes.
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.
Cheers,
Martin.
