Airport Ramp Marking Pack
This is a pack of airport ramp marking props. They are actual game geometry and NOT decals, this allows for better game performance, and for them to all share the same texture.
The tri-count is as follows:
- Characters are all 2 Tris (regular and LOD)
- Rectangles are 10 Tris with a 2 Tri LOD
- Triangles are 7 Tris with a 1 Tri LOD.
- Circles are 58 Tris with an 8 Tri LOD.
They all use the same 512×512 diffuse texture (no others), and a 128×128 LOD diffuse.
- Circle Ramp Marking (1,2,3 chars)
- Triangle Ramp Marking (1,2,3 chars)
- Rectangular Ramp Marking (1,2,3,5,7,8,11 chars)
- Characters A-Z, 0-9, Dash, and Comma
We recommend using the move it, and precision prop placement mods.
The characters are all raised above the background markings (in the Z-direction), so there should be no cliping. If you place these over lines, you may have to raise them up, and raise the characters as well.
The triangle and circle markings are used for ramp names, where the rectangular ones are used for gates.
Ramp names will never be more than 3 characters (usually either a single number, or a number followed by a letter).
Rectangular markings, however, can be used for gates (any alpha-numeric combination used by the aiport). Additionally, they can be used along side of the ramp names to denote which gates are on that ramp (e.g. “A1-A12”, or “A1,A3,A5”), hence the wider range of rectangular markings.
Finally, I and O are never used for ramp names, since they can be confused for 1 and 0. However, they may be used in words / abbreviations spelled on the marking (e.g. INTL).
