Quoting Melchior FRANZ :
Those running fgfs from cvs may be interested in the taxiway demo
airport: I put over 40 taxiway signs at KRHV as a first demonstration
of this feature. This is in the standard scenery in CVS. (You need
SimGear/CVS for this to work.)
It looks very neat, but I have the feeling they are a bit oversized, because I
don't remember seeing such large sign last time I took a commercial flight ( my
local airfield is just that : a field with no signs ).
Could be a foot/meter conversion, or just my memory ?
Sign readability is always a struggle in simulators. If you make signs
the proper size, they tend to become unreadable until you are right on
top of them. If you make the signs readable from a distance, they tend
to get grossly oversized. Increasing your screen resolution helps, but
that gets really expensive really quick.
I would vote for trying to keep the signs sized realistically and tell
people they should by a 10240 x 7680 resolution monitor if they want to
read them. :-)
