Airfield plates question. - Newy - 10.04.2010

Is there a way to make certain airfield plates stay on top of others.

for example, I'm trying to lay PCPPlate on top on a sand runway.



It can be done on default maps like the Crete Map airfield above, which I could place the PCPPlate on top but, trying to do it on my modded map, the PCPPlate goes under the sand plates

Any ideas?

I'm not sure whether plates can be made to stay on top of others. There is a hierarchy within plate sets - so, let's say, Runway plates will always be on top of Taxi ones, but how it works with different sets I don't know. Plus, I sometimes find flckering where plates of the same set are overlaid - might this be a problem with what you are doing too?

:cheers:

I'm trying to make a runway look like it did in '42.

Imagine a Sand strip that is 2 runway plates wide, then running down the middle is a single wide PCPPlate runway (similar to the picture above).

The New Guinea map places the PCPPlate under the Sand Plate.

When you make runways in the map-maker like you're thinking of above, be sure to check them out in your game version as well. There is sometimes a discrepancy between the way plates are ordered between the 2 games.

I copied some airfields for use in a map, but they had inappropriately colored plates, so to save time, I simply placed the plates I wanted over the existing ones. In map-maker they looked good, but when trying them out in the playable game, their order was reversed ... I don't know what causes it, but check it out nonetheless ... you might not even need to worry about it ...
