There is no taxiway texture on taxiway F between the left and right 25 runways. Also at night there are no lights on that small section of the taxiway. The rest of taxiway F is fine just between the 25 runways. This is for FSX.

I checked it, and it's all fine, see the attached screenshots of taxiway F between the 25 runways, it's textured, and the blue taxiway lights at night are correct.

It is missing the yellow centerline, and centerline lights at night.

Ok, now you are saying a different thing, it's not the "taxiway texture" missing, it's the taxiway centerline which is not there, but that's how we made the scenery, it's not a bug.  Meaning, it's not as if you have an installation problem, we simply haven't done it.

About the centerline lights, there are no lights visible on Google, not on the dark asphalt section at least.

We'll see what we can do about the missing yellow centerline.

Fixed already. Download the linked file, and place the updated files in the following folders:

KLAX_4096_SF03.DDS
goes into FSX\fsdreamteam\KLAX_V2\texture

KLAX_SETT01_sfES.MDL
goes into FSX\Simobjects\Misc\FSDT_KLAX\model.KLAX_sett01_sfES\

The yellow line is there but the ground graphics still show something different. if you compare the Google Earth example and the day and night ground texture of the entire taxiway, they are different. From hold short point to hold short point there should be a solid taxiway texture surface.

In fsx the taxiway still has that light filled up line like it used to be a river and is blue in color.

That exactly how it is in the scenery, after this fix. If you don't see that, it means you haven't replaced the texture included in the .ZIP file, or haven't placed it in the correct place.

It's not. The scenery is now correct, and there's nothing blue in it, see the attached screenshot, which clearly shows it basically matches the real photo.

It must just be the night texture then that still has the old textures displaying

We haven't changed the night texture. The blue tint is coming from your airplane taxi lights, not from the scenery.

It's part of the photo ground texture that shows at night even with the taxi lights off.

Also at night when turning onto runway 25R from taxiway B you can see one of the runway approach lights on the end of the runway. Dont think it should be there

No, it's not, there's not blue anywhere in that texture, it's totally dark grey/black. It's caused by something else, maybe another light of the airplane, or it's just an issue with some video color rendering in your system, and the FSX night rendering is not as precise as the day one. But it's NOT the scenery texture. You can obviously check it yourself, using the Imagetool from the FSX SDK. No blue in that area.

Custom runway lights have some visual side effects, so this won't change, because it's not a bug. You don't get ultra fast rendering speed (by bypassing the FSX runway lights system) for free.

it looks blue due to the light shining on it, but it is the same white dried up river going through the taxiway during night time, like it used to during the day before you made the taxiway texture and middle yellow line show up. At night shining a light on the area, it looks like the old texture before your taxi fix.

That's precisely my point. There's nothing "blue" in the texture, your light is shining blue over it.

That's precisely what I already said in one of my previous reply:

We'll might eventually update the night texture too, but since it hasn't changed (there weren't two textures in the .ZIP file...), it's normal it would look like that.
