Taxi and Holding Lines

[Raybel2]

Hi team,

Is there a way to place holding lines on a black background? The default lines when draw are only yellow, I noticed the real lines on LFPG for example, they have a black backdrop which make it stand out more (example link below).

Is there a way to render it like that in MSFS or do I have to create one myself and place it as an object? Thanks.

That is actually black paint. Per international codes, on concrete, yellow paint goes over a black base for contrast. To reproduce this, most developers will make the hold-short node "no draw" then use two small apron parts: a black one and one that is given the hold-short texture.

What does one do about the centerlines, however? Also, the default lines are too yellow. I think usually the lines have more orange in them.

You can use the painted lines with a custom materials made by modifying the defaul Msfs texture sheet

Or you can do them with projectedmesh (draw the lines in blender with your own materials, export as object,import as ProjectedMesh)

Attached is the taxiway lines file used by MSFS. I have converted it into an PNG for you for easy editing. Edit it as you see fit. If you add black side lines, remember to use colour #111111 and not #000000 as the last-mentioned colour value will show up as invisible in MSFS. The idea is to add this file as a texture material in your project and then use it to replace the default taxiway lines.

I will recommend that you also watch this video as the guy explains the process of changing the lines extremely well. He has other videos on his channel that will explain other things just as well. Woth the watch! That is how I learned this stuff in the beginning!

I can't say thank you enough! I will give it a try tonight when I get home. Really appreciate it my friend!

I have tried this but there seems to be breakouts when projected, either they get burried into the ground at a distance, or the lines sort of slip.
