I'm creating a heliport which has a runway that intersects the helipad. As you can see from the screenshot, the runway renders above the helipad surface, but below the paint (runway is bitumen, helipad is concrete). I would like the helipad to render above the runways, as per the google maps screenshot. Is there any way to control this?
Hello @RoscoHead ,
A good start would be to use a priority 1 polygon to define the surface above the runway, then use another priority 2 polygon with a custom texture to define the "H". Finally, a helipad with a transparent material over it so you can spawn.
Hope it helps,
Regards,
Boris
Thanks @Boris_ yes it did help by pointing my in the right direction, thanks!
I ended up opting for the simpler (doesn't require custom texture) but slightly less accurate solution - adding an apron over the helipad, with "force above runways". This hid both the helipad and runway, but not the paint. But it's just a quickie for friends, I decided that's enough :)
