General Details

Original Author: Cormac Shaw

Description

A surface marking depicting ‘Rway Ahead’ warning using white letters on a red background. This supplementary warning is often placed immediately before an ILS hold short marking but where the full ‘Runway Ahead’ marking would not fit within the constraints of the taxiway.

This polygon uses the NOWRAP texture command so that the texture will fill what ever size you make the polygon without repeating. The polygon should be sized so that the whole polygon, including transparency, is 10m wide with the letters within it are 2m tall (use the developer’s 10m grid polygon also available in this library to aid placement).

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
