You get the grey landscape because you did not copy the \texture\ folder to your 'new' New York scenery area. That's where the bgl's must get their textures. In any case, creating the 'new' area won't accomplish anything.
As for your other problems, did you do new installs of FS9 and GW3 or copy from a backup? If from a backup I would guess the flooding is a result of disabled or missing terrain bgl's carried over from your previous troubles (UT or other terrain addons).

This problem has been going on for a long time and so many changes have made it impossible to suggest a way to fix it. My recommendation is as follows. Forget, uninstall and delete ALL that has gone before. 1. Begin again with a basic FS9 install. 2. Install the FS9.1 update. 3. Install EITHER BUT NOT BOTH Silver Wings or Golden Wings. Silver Wings has retro textures but does not effect any airports. Golden Wings has retro textures, modfied autogen, and has had all post WWII airports covered over. You MUST CHOOSE ONE, you cannot install both without disaster. 3a. (Optional) IF you choose to install FSGW, be sure to install all the GW updates as well. (I don't mean additional scenery, I mean FSGW updates available on the FSGW download page. 3b. (Optional) Should you want a permanent install of Golden Hawaii, run the install and DO NOT RUN THE SWITCH PROGRAM. Then follow the new instructions at the top of the forum. Be advised that adding mesh with a higher than 76m resolution can have adverse effects on Golden Wings. Ultimate Terrain will most certainly have adverse effects on Golden Wings, DO NOT for any reason allow MAX_TERRAIN_VERTEX_LEVEL to be set higher than 19. 4. Most, if not all of the addon scenery for FSGW that is available on the TOH Downloads page is designed for FSGW WITHOUT Ultimate Terrain. If you want to use Ultimate Terrain despite my recommendation, do not expect ANY of the addon scenery to work correctly. 5. If you choose Silver Wings, you will get ONLY a retro texture set. No airports are changed or hidden. Silver Wings is suitable for a mid-century setup (50's - 60's) and you can get suitable addons from California Classics at www.calclassic.com/ You should not use ANY Golden Wings addons or updates with Silver Wings. I do not recommend using Golden Hawaii with Silver Wings as the textures do not blend. I hope that you will take the time to do all this over and do it right. I have had a world of enjoyment with FSGW and have never had ANY of the problems you have dealt with all these months.

Inspite of the many problems I have experienced, even with reading the istallation instructions, I have gotten much enjoyment from GW and SW. I am now at the point where I have gotten GW to where I want it in regards to scenery add-ons and ehancements. Thank you Tom and everyone else for your help.
