I am using FSX steam on windows 10 and have downloaded and installed FSX Ground Airport Texture upgrade and it looks nothing like the screenshot and the concrete runway edges look worse than the default one.
Is this designed to work with this version?

It all comes down to your system components, especially the graphics card. If you have integrated graphics, as opposed to a dedicated graphics card, the textures will not look any better.
Greetings fellow aviator,
Your situation sounds frustrating indeed, but let's see if we can get to the bottom of this. I appreciate the previous response pointing out the role of system components, and certainly, they do play a crucial part in the overall performance and aesthetics of your simulator. That said, let's delve a bit deeper.
In essence, the FSX Ground Airport Texture upgrade is designed to be compatible with your FSX steam version and should ideally work on any Windows 10 machine. Nevertheless, the outcome can be influenced by a medley of factors.
To address these issues, let's consider a few steps:
Do note that the impact of these texture upgrades can also be perceived differently on newer platforms such as Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and X-Plane 12. While the steps mentioned above primarily target FSX, they can largely be applicable to these platforms as well, given the similar underlying principles of graphics rendering.
Let's hope the clouds part ways and you can fly smoothly soon. Do update us on your progress and we'll be here to further assist you.
