I created some scenery in the past and I am not sure why it is now showing some Blood Red tiles for about 10 out of 237 tiles. I looked at the BGL for compling and I do not see anything wrong there. for example here is one of them

I thought maybe it had something to due to the season change since it was in the Summer when I created the scenery and I did not test all the seasons.

Generally, the red color appears when using the Null Value entry in the inf file along with an associated Blend Mask. For more information, please see:

However, if I understand your inf file correctly, you are not using a Blend Mask. Perhaps this red color also appears when using a Water Mask. In any case, try removing the Null Value entry from the inf file, or edit the source image to slightly tone down all pure white pixels.

Best regards.

Ok that might be the problem I over looked that.

I made a post not long ago thinking I solved my problem but , I did not fix it,..The problem is in tiles that have water areas (Channel_LandWaterMask = 3.0) for lakes and rivers and when using a two different season bmps. one for summer and one for rest of the year, also with night texture bmp and I do have a water tiff texture as well also this is using Aerial photo imagery as well.

Can some one show me a good working example of a INI file with say example , a Summer BMP and a Hard Winter BMP using Channel_LandwaterMask=3.0 also with a night texture all using Imagery photos. I can not figure it out , The winter texture around the tiles with water only show up as blood red in the winter time but is ok in the summer time.
