airfield taxi and landing signs

[TP_Jacko]

Some time ago airfield taxi and landing signs were added to the list of available objects. I found the taxi signs arf_sign_left etc but not a landing sign. I was thinking this is like a large piece of coloured canvas to mark the landing point.

 

Did I get mixed up with CloD

Ok relax  it was under vehicles as land_canvas. Now I wonder if I attach way points will it move like a truck

 

This can't be the right place it has all the properties of a vehicle, all I hoped to do is change the colour.

I was wondering what that canvas was for.

 

How is it used exactly??

As an aside - I can never get arf_signs to produce a soldier. Anyone else notice this?

Other arf_objects no problem.

I wouldn't expect the sign objects to come with a soldier Gambit21.

I can imagine a grim looking German soldier pointing to the direction of the arrow in the sign and going "Nein! Dummkopf! Ze other way!" :D

I guess I misunderstood all along then.

I thought all of the "arf" blocks were supposed to produce a soldier.

Only a few of them produce soldier.
