ARP Pack - Airfield Signs Mod (version 2.1)
✔️ABOUT MOD:
Version 2.1 contains standing signs and horizontal patterns. The latest works included also additional illumination for standing signs, PAPI and arresting system. It was changed many times and tested, not to be seen as obstacle for AI. There're is template for a few Caucasus Airports which can be loaded in Mission Editor. A list of other mods that I use in list.

12/02/2024 - v2.1
⦁ 2 types of template to load - one doesn't need any mod (thanks to Rudel_chw2), the second one gives the same look as mine (photos) and requires some mods (see readme, there's a list).
✴️KNOWN PROBLEMS / BUGS:
1. Grass should be turned off because it rises through textures; this problem exists in many other mods and probably will be solved in future
2. Arresting system is just a static object (it doesn’t work – it was intentional).
3. PAPI shows 2 white and 2 red lights regardless of glideslope (perhaps it’ll be solved in future but at this moment most airports in DCS are using PAPI which also shows incorrect data).
4. All templates were tested with C-130. In case of bigger planes, there’s possibility that they’ll stop because of obstacle.
5. There’s probability that in some other cases, AI movement will be disturbed although there weren’t such problems during testing.
6. Ramps were created as patterns. There’s no additional parking sites but you can use it as ‘hot start’.
7. Illumination of standing lights is separated and it’s added to template. You can remove it one by one in case of computer with lower specification (if you notice that you have fps problem). What's more, depending to shaders, there may be some problems. If you notice any problems - let us know about it here.

❌ EDITING / REDISTRIBUTION:
At the beginning, this mod was planned as a private mod. After some time, we decided to share with it, so it’s public. Anyway, we spent many hours for creating, editing, improving all models and textures. Please, appreciate it. Many information were taken from the book which I use to learn for ATPL exams and from conversations with my friends who are real civil and military pilots. Redistribution and/or edition is prohibited.
