Benny's Generic Terrain Textures

These textures are a replacement for the generic terrain textures in X-Plane 5. I tried to create something that looks more realistic than the original textures. Creating generic terrain textures is a challenge – if you make them very homogeneous (like the X-Plane default textures), they will look boring and not very realistic. On the other hand, if you include lots of interesting details, the result will not suit all sorts of landscapes equally, and you will get an ugly "repeating pattern" effect from higher altitudes. Also, the textures must be rotation-invariant, so they tile perfectly regardless of their orientation. I think I achieved a fairly good compromise with these textures. Please send me your feedback!

The latest version has color-corrected city borders that look more realistic. Thanks to Evan Owen for making this enhancement!
