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.

Regards,

Curt.
