Is there any way to update Tampa's ground texture? Unlike Miami, San Francisco and San Diego, the grass at Tampa looks too fake and terrible green! Perhaps borrow the texture from the other airports to fix this problem? Here is a sample shot, but don't mind the red circle I did because this was a shot I took for Ultimate Terrain showing them problems with their texture next to Tampa International.

The Tampa scenery is our oldest "child" and was conceived with what we would call "old technology" today. Within the next week(s) I will be introducing an update to the website to reflect this.
To the actual issue you pointed out: It is of course possible to change the overall grass color and I am adding this to the list for a possible update which so far includes the new Terminal C. What isn't possible is to get this good'old Tampa scenery to look anything like KSAN or SFO because of the technology used. To achieve that would require a "from ground up" reword (6+ months development time) and it would become a whole new product and not an update. This is something I will only look into when the next version of the Flight Simulator comes out next year.
