Known Issues
Flying during sunset or sunrise may cause blending issues
---Will look into this, but the only solution for now is to avoid flying too late at night (or too early in the AM)
MSFS Defect - Internal Blending Issues around Bancroft Bush Strip (only Asobo can fix it)
Too many floating light orbs around Burley Municipal Airport
Color still needs improvements around Pocatello and American Falls
Several lesser known airports have grass covering the runways
Several parts of Idaho need a Redo on the Color
Mountains NorthWest of Mantua Lake have miscolored Trees
Color is poor between Bear Lake (1u7 - Montpelier) and Logan (KLGU)

Note:
This is an ALPHA Early ACCESS, please do not rate the product based on the several issues that exist which I am aware of.

This project is an ongoing task that is going to take a very long time to complete due to the coverage area. Please keep in mind this is a very EARLY release, which means it is rough around the edges right now, and I'm experimenting and will be for a long time. This is a monumental task that no-one else has ever attempted in MSFS (afik), that is color correcting such a large area. Hence, the goal of this project is to increase the fidelity of the scenery and make it as green as it could ever be in May or June, but this does not mean trying to match exactly how a specific airport might look from one photo (which is inaccurate due to seasons and droughts, etc...). I do take into account photos from Google and other sources, but it is balanced against other factors.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

I have removed the grass from many runways, but there are still some I have not had a chance to do as of yet.

This enhancement causes little to no change in FPS in most places, and uses the default MSFS shaders to fix the aerial imagery whenever possible.
