BTW: The comment was actually meant seriously: "use letters <>AZaz" Or more correctly: use one or more of (A) lower-than, (B) greater-than, (C) upper case and (D) lower case letters. (A) and (B) are thought for arrows. This supposed that there's a texture for every used element. I really only have letterA here. On my TODO was to write a small script that created the signs using ImageMagick. Or something. :-) > > # texture name from material.xml > > OBJECT_RUNWAY_SIGN Town -122.357367 37.613927 2 150 > > Not done. What's this "Town" material?

As the comment above says: This is a texture name from materials.xml: $ grep -1 "\<Town\>" $FG_ROOT/materials.xml <material> <name>Town</name> <-- this here <texture>Terrain/Town1.rgb</texture> > OBJECT_RUNWAY_SIGN 07-25 -122.357367 37.613927 2 150 > Where 07-25 is a runway number.

Don't try too hard to understand it. There's a reason why this was never used before and after that famous screenshot. ;-) This was before I joined the fgfs community, and I think it was a proof of concept or a first stab at taxi/runway signs, but never really finished. That's why nobody used it. And this in turn is why it never got finished ... chicken/(Easter)egg. m. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
