I made a request for this and while I was tinkering with texture files within the main asobo directory, I did find the yellow color that fills in closed runway X marks.
Here is just a simple mod if you have OCD and your desired journey will deal with open runways that still got closed marks on them and this mod removes the marks and re-opens the runway.
The downside is, apparently other runway related yellow colored items are removed, so far I only see it removing yellow chevrons at ends of some runways (you just see the faded outline of the chevrons or some white painted ones). but all yellow lines on taxi side and aprons work including those that enter into the runway and the yellow hash marks on sides of some runways is untouched.
I just simply drop it in the community folder when I am gonna be flying to certain airports such as Africa and some Chinese airports recently, where the only runway even being active with ILS and all lights exists happens to be full of annoying yellow crosses upon arrival or takeoff.
Some closed runways or even open ones with certain closed taxiways may show taxiway closed cross marks, but that feeds off taxiway yellow, so I do not think its a big deal because the crosses are tiny on "closed" taxiways vs the large ones on a runway.
This may conflict or not even work if you perhaps have some other runway texture enhancement mods.
Thanks a tonne for this mod, I was using Harare Intl a lot but the X markings that weren’t there irl were really annoying but this has worked perfectly.

Thanks for this. It is appreciated.
Just another point you may or may not be able to help on. The Harare runway has a rather large ridge running through it (about the half way point) which just 'shears off' the landing gear and thus no end of problems with larger aircraft . Any way that can be removed/flattened? I bought the aftermarket Harare airport addon assuming it would fix it but... it was still there.

Wow I was wondering about getting that scenery. I guess not, but the ridge seems to have been corrected by the following which I use now which is freeware on this site. It has enhancements to many default airports, great for those that you do not have payware scenery for.

He has a default enhancement to Harare and it helped flatten the bump a bit.
And I use this mod in conjunction to correct the closed runway part of Harare.
