We will use the one that informs the pilot to HOLD during CAT II/III operations to ensure proper aircraft separation. There are generally a few taxiway signs as well which also help to locate these areas. CAT II/III separation is not that big of an issue in [[FlightGear]]. There is still no automatic ground traffic management and aircraft collisions are not very expensive; but this is a real ground marking. We will concentrate on the modeling phase, rather than the functional aspects of the sign. | ||
There is no way [[FlightGear]] could position these ground markings automatically. There is no database of where they are or what they look like. Each airport customizes ground marking positions and orientations in order to get maximum efficiency and to help pilots getting correct information without filling the ground with too many of them. Rationalizing communication effectiveness is vital to an airport. Therefore you will create and position them manually. | There is no way [[FlightGear]] could position these ground markings automatically.
