Purple textures at La Guardia (NY). I observed same issue at others airports. What is the reason, is there a fix ?
Hi @AVL121 welcome to the Microsoft Flight Simulator forums! I hope you are enjoying the new sim!
Seems fine for me. Do you get this everytime, or with the drone camera or external view? Have you raised a bug with Zendesk? Have you updated your latest graphics drivers?
People can anybody else on here comment if they have seen this and what specs they have, I don’t get this issue myself so I can’t help.
Raise a bug with Zendesk, there is an option at the top of the Forums to click on “Zendesk” next to the “MSFS Home” link.

Thanks @sneaky74 for your welcome and reply. And yes, I see this anomaly in all views included drone camera. It happens to me since last update as I recall. I have the latest nvidia driver and as you recommended I will put this issue on Zendesk. Regards.

No problem here, looks like you are missing a asphalt texture, could be a addon that causes the problem
I went to the store and lunched MSFS from there. NO updates were done. The problem persists.
Clear the cache inside MSFS, means deleting the rolling cache file ?
I would try to repair. Go here and choose the link that represents how you downloaded MSFS:
https://www.flightsimulator.com/patch-version-1-7-14-0-is-now-available/
The sim is almost clean, only few liveries and one little airfield in Patagonia area added. No add-ons for KLGA.
JFK Airport is ok. On KLAX there´s a tiny purple texture as you can see in the picture.
I will try to repair the installation as J4011K suggested. I put this issue on Zendesk already. If I fix the issue I will let you know. Thanks for al the advices.
By the way, I agree that purple textures implies some missing textures. Some sort of repairing is needed.
Have you removed the addons from community?
Well, thanks Cygnifick, following your advice, I removed the addons from community and the problem was solved. It seems that the only one airport freeware installed caused the problem. All the liveries in Community folder don´t cause any issue.
I wrote a bit more initialy but it would complicate it more then needed. Glad it works now, have a nice flight. 
Can you link that addon? I’m curious what they did…
The community folder has priority over the official folder, so they probably used a default asphalt texture and didn’t rename after editing and not saving in DDS or something like that..
Edit: Sorry, no link or anything. 
I did a Google search and nothing showed up for Patagonia scenery..
I think no addons should caused problems with the rest of the sceneries.
You can find the freeware in Surclaro. https://www.surclaro.com/msfs2020-scenery-c57-0.html
It must be a problem of MSFS developers not of the freeware author.
I installed and removed the scenery a couple of times and I can confirm that is causing the issue.
It’s the .dds (ASPHALT01_***.PNG.DDS) files they used that overtakes the default .dds files. It’s not a fault from MSFS because a addon has priority over default files.
