Airport Windsock Segmented Circle

A segmented circle indicator for an airport's windsock.

This assets contains both a 100 foot diameter circle, as well as a single indicator prop for creating landingstrip and pattern indicators. These assets are setup with a color variation (close but not a 100% match) to be 50% orange / orange, and 50% orange / white. I have seen instances of airports having each variation.

Note that landingstrip indicators extend in the direction of a landing strip (parallel to it) and the end parts denote the trafic direction (more information at the end of the description). From what I understand ONLY UNCONTROLLED airports will have landingstrip indicators (i.e. airports WITHOUT a control tower), however, most other airports will have the segmented circle indicator.

Performance:
The circle indicator prop has 560 Tris, with a 112 Tri LOD. The individual indicator prop has 20 Tris, with a 4 Tri LOD.
They both share the same texture, which is a 64x64 diffuse, color, specular, for both regular and LOD.


A reference on the directional indicators can be found here (the second to last page has a diagram showing an example, notice how the trafic patern turns away from the runway): https://www.faa.gov/documentLibrary/media/advisory_circular/150-5340-5C/150_5340_5c.pdf
