chris k Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 File Name: Wide Taxiway Markings Library ReplacementFile Submitter: chris kFile Submitted: 08 Feb 2013File Category: Misc Scenery ResourcesX-Plane Version(s): X-Plane 9 & 10Wide Taxiway Markings - Library Replacement v2.0(a.k.a. X-Plane Default Taxiway Texture Line Marking Replacement Definition files... say that 10 times fast!)Feb 06, 2013 - Chris K and the ISDG Group____________________________________________________________Quick Description:This file makes the X-plane default taxiways much wider; better reflecting reality.All Airport pavement markings look much more like their real-life counterparts.____________________________________________________________Detailed Description:This file overwrites X-Plane's built-in library of taxiway markings using the Library EXPORT system functionality provided by X-Plane. It replaces the Line (.LIN file) definitions with a duplicate definition file which exactly doubles the size of the lines in both the horizontal and vertical directions.This method manipulates the library in a "3rd party developer" friendly way, by use of LIBRARY directives, and in no way overwrites any of X-Planes default files; or requires the end-user to modify X-Planes own internal files or textures. This makes it work for any version of X-Plane that supports the 800 LIBRARY system, which includes X-Plane 8.5+, X-Plane 9, and X-Plane 10. This method also allows easy installation, and is easy to delete.____________________________________________________________INSTALLATION:Unzip, and copy "Wide Taxiway Markings Library Replacement" into "Custom Scenery" - That's it.UNINSTALL:Delete "Wide Taxiway Markings Library Replacement" from "Custom Scenery" - That's it.____________________________________________________________FUNCTIONALITY:Works on both XP9 and XP10; As these files didn't change (or get any upgrades to better ones) between the XP versions.Enjoy!____________________________________________________________v1.0 to v2.0 changes:As per daveduck's excellent insight, we changed from individual files you needed to manually copy into X-Planes internals by hand...........to a library-based method to replace the markings in an X-Plane "3rd party" modification friendly way.

scubajuan_new Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Thanks Chris. One question: How do you draw red lines? I haven't seen that option in WED Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris k Posted February 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 not available by default - even though its int he texture file use OpensceneryX - it has a red.lin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubajuan_new Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 I tried it but the color sucks and I guess is low res too, I looked a the textures file included in your pack and I think it would look much nicer and consistent with the rest of the lines. Could you please explain how to create a "redline.lin" that refers to the texture at hand.Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris k Posted February 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 The BEST info is here: http://scenery.x-plane.com/library.php?doc=linspec.php Or just read the associated LIN file I included and replicate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
