It is fantastic to see the knowledgeable folks developing all these new mods - thank you all.  One of the things that I have not seen discussed yet seems like it could be done is runways and their skid markings and rubber build up.  I have xplane, which does this well (could have been a mod though?) and I don't have P3D so on that one I don't know.

Maybe this is too difficult and I have no idea what I am asking, however maybe others can chime in here and let me know what the issues could be.  I do not know how this would (could) be done as I don't know anything about doing this type of thing, but I am genuinely curious.

Its in the SDK, so the devs or hobbyist editors can apply that to their airports, some has done it already.

Simple, it's a brand new sim, give it a couple of months of use and there will be loads of rubber laid on the tarmac! 😁😉

Maybe they are just simulating airfields with good rubber removal practices 😄

As for all you would be sim airfield owners,  letting too much rubber build up on your runway runs a risk of it being closed due to being too slippery when wet 😄

Are you asking for a dynamic build up of rubber and dirt on runways or a static depiction of rubber? Its up to the airport creator to apply decals to the runway and is really easy. As for having it build up over time. I have no idea how to go about that. Its way beyond creating scenery.

No, I was thinking only of 'static'.  My thought was being able to apply these marks/build-ups on the generic runway textures that I believe are here (maybe?):

     ...\Official\<Steam-MS>\asobo-material-lib\MaterialLibs\Asobo_MaterialLib\Textures

or here...

     ...\Official\<Steam-MS>\fs-base-material-lib\MaterialLibs\Base_MaterialLib\Textures

Just an idea to make the global (all asphalt and concrete) runways look a bit more used, nothing dynamic, just some marks or something.  I really have no idea how this could be done, I just am not knowledgeable in that area.  Thanks for the feed back, appreciated.
