The current runway textures are really great and I very much appreciate the efforts of those that have done the work. However, I have a couple small nits and it would be nice to have someone go over them and redo them. This is a pretty large undertaking becuase whatever is done needs to be repeated for asphalt, concrete, and the occasional marked dirt runways. You need to take into account how the various pieces fit together to make them seamless. It would be nice to put a transition border of pixels around the perimiter of the textures to smooth the hard edge transition with the grass. It would be nice to move the paint line markings to the center of the textures rather than the edges to reduce aliasing effects from a distance. (This would involve restructuring the underlying polygon layout as well which I would probably be involved with.) It would also be nice to add skid marks and more paint wear effects. If anyone wants to take a look at this task, I'd be happy to take this up with them offline. I have a set of marking masks already drawn out so you wouldn't need to worry about size and placement of the markings.
