New Runway Textures Pack

Attachment 36054

My guess is that at one time makeMDL.exe could place runways and all know types was listed but this was cut from the version we got but the text is still in the program. As for SCASM being unable to compile CFS2 runways. My guess is that CFS2 Surface numbers wasn't added to SCASM. All SCASM docs say that 9 is the last Surface.

Simply put we can't do any thing to the stock pre-placed runways but change there texture and we can't make more like them with the tools I know of.

This part of the conversation is a little over my head, so excuse my ignorance. I see a runway defined, like an AFD bgl, but I don't see an object defined like a textured polygon. Where would that be?

The runway texture and how it acts (dirt, coral or PSP) is done by the Surface key.

Saddly the CFS2 surface types are not supported by SCASM. Also using the suppored type is not ideal. They use old .r8 files and are well look worse. They are more or less the same runways made for FS5 (pre Win95)

Thanks Allen. I get it now. I can see a couple of ways around it, but as you stated previously, they are all labor intensive. Maybe down the road, but right now, I'm not going to attempt it.

Hi everyone. I've spent the last two days ironing out the details on the runway texture package. We are nearly there.

That's really weird. I was able to download it from my other computer and my phone.

Give the Admins time to approve the upload, then everyone can see it. At the moment, only the uploader will be able to see it.

**shphawk** · March 17th, 2016, 05:40

A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category CFS 2 Scenery Add-Ons

Description: This pack contains 25 unique textures for the default runways in CFS2. Enjoy!

Shphawk,

Sorry, I had my head buried in the sand working on my Balkans project. I approved the upload just now. Thanks for all of your hard work on this, this represents another Quantum Leap for CFS2. Well done, sir!

Love them!! Of the 5 different categories of runways 64 thru 68 I've already picked out my personal favorites and have them installed. Adds so much visually to the game. Thanks so much for all your work!

**dvslats** · March 18th, 2016, 03:06

You've really done a nice job with these shphawk!

Still trying to make up my mind. For the PSP toss up between these two.
Or maybe I'll just swap 'em out given the mood of the day. Lol

Seaside Weathered

Inland New

Thanks for putting in the time you did on these. Sweet

Thank you very much. I'm so glad that you like the textures. I'd be curious to know which are your favorites.

I'm so glad you like them. I really feel like everyone put something in to the project and I was hoping that I put something in there for everyone. I may revisit and rework the textures at some point. I was also thinking that I need to make a little utility that can swap the textures easily so we don't have to choose. Thanks again for your input.
