This is relatively easy. It is a simple textured rectangle. The first thing you need is the correct measurements and a nice texture to put on it. I will create this example with the same measurements used at EDDF Frankfurt airport. The rectangle is 8m wide and 7m high. | This is relatively easy. It is a simple textured rectangle.

I will not explain how to paint the texture because it is covered in other tutorials. Use your preferred painting software, I used [[The Gimp]] for this one, save the file in.rgb format and make sure that its size (pixel resolution, not bytes) is a multiple of 8, otherwise | I will not explain how to paint the texture because it is covered in other tutorials. Use your preferred painting software, I used [[The Gimp]] for this one, save the file in.rgb format and make sure that its size (pixel resolution, not bytes) is a multiple of 8, otherwise [[FlightGear]] will not load it. Here you see a JPG version of the texture as an example, download catii-iii.rgb to get the RGB version you need for texturing, it has 512x512 pixel resolution. You can use smaller ones (ex. 128X128) if you think this resolution is too high. | ||
