I want as : runway 36-18 east, 36-18 west, and taxiways
betweens them.
To place lines for aircrafts and my places for rearm
as I want fields look as I want
Is it possible to build such fields using
RUNWAY, L/RTAXI and STRTTAXI?
Yes you can build such a Field!
Now as you already seen, if you made a long runway using only the STRTAXI pieces, your Plane is effected by the ground underneath the STRTAXI.
On the RUNWAY piece it isn't affected by the ground underneath.
The Airfields are built with SAIRFLD, LAIRFLD... etc, pieces which are also made up of other parts like DIRTFLD, DIRTWAY...etc which are not available shapes that can be selected in the TE. These parts are not affected by the ground underneath that's why Planes don't have problems.
Since you don't want to use the SAIRFLD, LAIRFLD... etc, pieces you could do the next best thing and use a flat shape that will cover a large area and not be affected by the ground underneath.
Then you could then skin this shape to what ever colour scheme you want, or you could even make it invisible so that you see the ground.
Some shapes that could work are FACTDRT, OILDRT, VDEPOT there are some others.
One test that you can do to see if a shape will give the characteristics that you are looking for is place it on a water texture instead of ground and see if you can drive a Plane on it.
You will notice that FACTDRT, OILDRT, VDEPOT will let you drive a plane on them while they are placed on water, but shapes like STRTAXI or SNOWCAP won't.
