It should be entirely possible to substitute the tex's used for the airfields with those from others. I did a quick test whilst messing around with something else on the weekend. I forget the names of the textures but they (4 textures) have the suffixes *gnd_64, *gnd_128, *gnd_256 and *gnd_512. You generally cant open these files but they would simply be a tileable *.tga texture of the surface of the runway. Subsitute these textures for images of block colours of different colours and open FMB and you'll see what I mean. If you just wanted to swap grass for desert you could grab the textures for the desert type and replace the grass ones.

1. create folder empty1a inside files\maps\
2. past all extracted map files of desired map from its folder- for example Kuban
3. in filelist add paths for all that files
4.edit load.ini as you like
5.open maps_ru.properties ( files\i18n\) and change name of empty1a to desired name for example Kuban-desert

Couldn't just add a line to the maps_ru.properties rather than replace a line to get an extra map instead of replacing one. Just a thought
