Thanks abaser, took forever to find something decent to use. Website is called aeroscale.co.uk. ,I posted couple of pics from it. Hopefully these pics will explain what I would like as far as scale. The concrete square in first pic is scaled at 100%. that is the size I need for the tarmac to be. Each square contains 16 smaller squares, which at the airport where I work are about 20 sq. ft. each. I would like to be able to connect a few together like the RF concrete square pic shown if possible. Does this help?

Something like this? I had to darken the pic you posted because it was nearly solid white in RF, but I went too dark with it. Ill lighten it up some if this is what you're wanting. Its scaled 50ftx50ft and is just a simple plane with no height to it.
Remove the .rfx when saving.

andy Is that object gonna have that big killer speed bump at the seams if you butt 2 or more of them together in the sim? as discussed earlier?.......... if so I'd make the planned tarmac , the planned final size and shape of the whole tarmac all in 1 piece... like KE does (prob for same reason
@helihemi.... in the screeny in post #23 showing the larger AP in the top half
aren't you experiencing bumps between pieces? ...or is that all 1 piece ....if not 1 piece and you're not seeing bumps between pieces ...who did you do it?
@helihemi Depth buffer in a 3d field ?.....
I've never found or have seen a use for a depth buffer in a 3d field
Not saying there could never be ...just that I haven't ever needed one myself and cant recall ever seeing them used in a 3d field , maybe they have been is someones AP but since they can be made invisible ..... ....? and have never just bumped into something invsis either

On one of the small maps like "Simple Grass" it wont matter io think they are perfectly leval ....
place in a random spot within Sierra Nevada's ground.... and problem's start .....float your spawn at 80,0000 ft ,....fugetaboutit

My brother enabled water at that map for his AP and raised the water a bit. It creates a strip of land in the center.
Edit: The flatlands and photofield maps are 100% flat.

Hi,
I imported the Grass on Grass. This is what I got.

Added 100ftSq,2by100ft & 4by100ft Projected Scenery Objects mapped with an
~ALPHA material.TGA's are Found in your
C:\Documents and Settings\****\My Documents\RealFlight G4\Scenery\AirportObjects Folder.
Modify to suit your needs!.
Dont Think U want a Static Scenery Object for what U R doing it would need 2 B Poly Rich for conform to ground 2 work adequately.

Hi,
Which pieces did you put side by side and not get that killer speed bump? I really think you may have solved the issue. Can you load the Floating Runway and apply the same process to it and see if you can butt 2 pieces together and taxi from one to the other with out hitting a glass wall?

Here's the .tga file. Again, remove the rfx, and place it in the same folder as the kex.
I just set 3 of these tarmac objects that I made side by side, using conform to ground. That's about the limit to my knowledge of AP editing. If it works for you, and you want the texture modified, let me know what you need. It seems dark to me.

The edges of the texture that a projected object use MUST be transparent. In 3ds Max the material must also be named ~ALPHA or ~CANOPY
KE really needs to work on this.

Buffers used as hangers.

Searched the Swap Pages - can't find this one. Want to see how you used the depth buffers in a 3-D airport.

This AP is mine and is not on the swap pages. I like making them but don't post all of them.
