Description

A square yellow background paint with black border for use in location and direction taxiway signs. This polygon uses the Texture_NoWrap command so that the sign background will assume the shape of the four-sided polygon you draw.

This polygon is drawn at an appropriate level relative to other OpenSceneryX ground taxiway sign components according to the following hierarcy:

Level	Polygon Type
Level Markings +3	All Glyphs / Characters
	Taxisign Border Yellow (line)

Level Markings +2	Background Red, Background Yellow_Disc
	Background Yellow_Disc

Level Markings +1	Background Black, Background Black_Disc
	Background Black_Square, Background Yellow_Square

Level Markings 0	Taxiline Inline Arrow (line), Taxiline End Arrow (line)

Suggested component combinations:

Sign Type	Description
Mandatory Sign	White Glyphs/Characters + Background Red

Direction Sign	Black Glyphs/Characters + Background Yellow Square
	OR
	Black Glyphs/Characters + Background Yellow + Background Black

Location Sign	Yellow Glyphs/Characters + Background Black Square + Background Yellow Square
	OR
	Yellow Glyphs/Characters + Taxisign Border Yellow (line) + Background Black

Stand ID Sign	Yellow Glyphs/Characters + Background Black Square

Polygon-specific Details

Texture Scale ⓘBy default, one iteration of this polygon’s texture covers 2.5m (8.2ft) horizontally and 2.5m (8.2ft) vertically, but this can be overridden when placing the polygon. For more information, see the official documentation.: h: 2.5m (8.2ft), v: 2.5m (8.2ft)
Layer Group ⓘThis polygon is drawn as part of layer group markings. For more information, see the official documentation on the .pol format, and the official documentation on layer group names in the .obj format: markings
Layer Offset ⓘThis polygon is drawn at layer offset +1 within its layer group. -ve offsets are drawn earlier (underneath) and +ve are drawn later (on top). For more information, see the official documentation on the .pol format, and the official documentation on layer group offsets in the .obj format: +1
Surface Type ⓘThis polygon emulates the hard surface type asphalt. Surface types determine how the aircraft behaves when taxiing over the surface. For more information, see the official documentation on the .pol format, and the official documentation on hard surface types in the .obj format: asphalt
