How to draw taxilines ?

[Guest Jos]

Hi,Looks simple, but... perhaps I use the wrong program (Airport version 2.6). I like to draw the yellow taxi lines and the hold short lines. How must I realize such lines ?I installed a replacement taxiway lines and the default airports have now those new lines... I want those in my own scenery.Greetz. Jos

Try AFCAD. This enables you to choose lines on the left, centre and right of taxiways with a choice of no-line, solid line and dashed line, plus lights. It also allows you to add hold-short lines.Its freeware so do a search for AFCAD.

Hi,I use FS2002... you probably mean AFCAD2 ?I think "Groundmaker" can do such things... have to try. Let know if it was a success.Greetz. Jos

Hi Jose,If you are using Fs2002 I think Airport for Windows and FSSC should be able to give you those lines (ADCAD for Fs2002 does not allow you to draw visual scenery). Make sure you select the taximarking type and that their layer number is high enough.

Hi Arno,I can draw black-yellow-black taxi lines with FSSC...even with an arc setting. But no simple yellow taxi lines who lights up at night. Maybe I am wrong. Even a taxi hold line doesn't show up.So far... I have to do with this possibility. At night I will use the lights in the center of the taxyway.Thanks. Jos

Hello,Now I can draw yellow taxilines... at last (no night texture).Made a yellow 8 bit 16 x 16 pixels .bmp and put it in the place of MS taxiway_marks. That works fine. The thickness was set via Groundmaker. Oh boy !Greetz. Jos
