CUSTOM RUNWAY

[danny37]

i used this

to give the runway a steel plank look

i think these were used more by the japanese than the US but i like the look of it,its different

The U.S. had entire airfields made of the steel mesh, some of them were for heavy bombers too.

Oh come on! Everyone knows Americans were more professional.

PSP or perforated steel planking was used alot in the building of runways in the pacific due to all of the wet weather, one advantage is that once you no longer needed the runway you could take it up and move it to another location, it was cheaper and easier to build than using concrete.
it was first know as Marsden Matting or Mat, perpose was to build temporary runways developed prior to ww2 and used through out the war, also used in Korean and Vietnam.

that looks good but looks more like an airfield an f16 or f18 would be landing at lol.

[allaire]

Didn't PSP run across the runway not with it?

Style-wise, it might be interesting. Graphics-wise, it's all wrong. The size of these planks, and the size of the holes, were so small than when you scaled them down to fit an entire runway, you would barely be able to see it from a plane sitting on top of it, let alone from the air.

Meaning, the "black" parts on your tile, the "holes" in the PSP, would be about 5 to 10 feet in diameter, rendering the runway useless.

As a follow-up:

If you can replicate the shades, rather than the actual holes, that is probably the best you can expect with the limited number of pixels the runway gives you to work with.

way to technical,its a game,not real life

i can still see the holes even in those pics,other than the PSP being shiney in my texture,theres not much difference in the look imo
