Bog9y Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Is anyone here able to create markings like these vertical landing pads? I'm just looking after the markings, it doesn't have to be functioning like the marston pad (able to place on grass etc). I just need the markings to overlay on a revetment or concrete area. The 476th VFW created Field carrier landing practice markings to overlay on a normal runway so I was wondering if something like this is possible for VL pads?

Wrench Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Here's a quick and dirty version. It'll go in C:\Users\%username%\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Mods\tech padMark.zip Carrier Script. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to use it for the AV8B and hovering at 50 ft above it's hard to see the pad marking, is there any coding I can change to make the pad larger? say around 50% larger?

Wrench Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 (edited) No the pad size is hardcoded. Here's a larger 30x30 M version of the .edm file, you can just overwrite the version in /mods/tech/parkMadk/shapes padMark.edm Edited March 16, 2021 by Wrench Carrier Script.

Bog9y Posted March 16, 2021 Author Share Posted March 16, 2021 Would you mind? I would really appreciate it. I can get you the exact measurements, one sec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bog9y Posted March 16, 2021 Author Share Posted March 16, 2021 So the pad (the grey checkered bit) should be 67 x 67 meters (220 ft x 220 ft) and the inner yellow square should be 30 x 30 meters (100 ft x 100 ft). Please let me know if you need any more info or a picture with the dimensions on it. Again, many thanks for this. Do you mind if I share it with fellow Harrier pilots?

Bog9y Posted March 16, 2021 Author Share Posted March 16, 2021 Quick service! Thanks, so is that 30 x 30 m for the whole pad, including the grey checkered bit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrench Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Affirm. The first version was 20x20. Carrier Script. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bog9y Posted March 18, 2021 Author Share Posted March 18, 2021 Can I be a total pain and ask for an even bigger pad? The total size should be 67 x 67 mtrs, if that's easy to do? If not, 60x60 (so double in size) is cool too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can not add vehicles in the mission editor. Really weird, you click on the tank icon to add a vehicle, you click on the map but nothing happens. No idea why. Any thoughts?

shagrat Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 I fixed the issue with the vehicles in the Mission Editor and gave the texture some love... Thanks to Wrench for the initial mod and Bog9y for the concept. Still not perfect, no LODs, does need a mostly flat area etc. but good enough for hover practice and spicing up some airports... padMark.zip 4 Shagrat - Flying Sims since 1984 - Win 10 | i5 10600K@4.1GHz | 64GB | GeForce RTX 3090 - Asus VG34VQL1B | TrackIR5 | Simshaker & Jetseat | VPForce Rhino Base & VIRPIL T50 CM2 Stick on 200mm curved extension | VIRPIL T50 CM2 Throttle | VPC Rotor TCS Plus/Apache64 Grip | MFG Crosswind Rudder Pedals | WW Top Gun MIP | a hand made AHCP | 2x Elgato StreamDeck (Buttons galore) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
