[UPDATE: This post applies equally to FS2004 and FS2004 - John]

It looks as if the missing tile in Cheltenham is being generated by an out-of-place request by a scenery control file covering a completely different scenery area, namely Volume 2 South. The only explanation I can think of for this strange behaviour is that it's a bug in FS2002, but there's probably no way of confirming this.

Fix

The good news is that there's an easy work-around. If you have the missing tile, simply switch the priority order Vol 2 Centre and Vol 2 South in Scenery Library. If you don't have the missing tile in the first place, don't change the scenery library order or you're likely to introduce the problem.

Detailed instructions

From the FS2002 menu, choose World, Scenery Library... (If you're in the startup screen, choose SETTINGS, Scenery Library...)
Click on the scenery area named "VFGM PhotoScenery Vol2 Centre".
Use the Move Up or Move Down buttons to get it to change places with "VFGM PhotoScenery Vol2 South".
Click OK.

If you have any difficulties with these instructions or the fix doesn't appear to work, please let me know.

Note: The texture files concerned are perfectly OK if you examine them in a suitable graphics program. The problem arises in FS itself when displaying them.

Edit: I've updated the original post to refer to FS2004 and added a note about the textures.

Hope you don't mind me mentioning this John but another 'fix' is available at Just Flight but it 'jiggers-up' the autogen on the tile involved - see - http://vfraddons.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=337
