As trains have waypoints could implement something similar for aircraft

Out of curiosity... Why would you want to? What benefit would this give?

To be more realistic aircraft routes if played in real scenario such as Europe or the world.
And thus establish different ways to that which usually takes

While I appreciate the idea of realism being added to the game, the developers aren't too keen on that kind of thing. A patch would only be added to the game if it increased gameplay in some way. Considering that there is currently no issue with the way that planes move between airports within the current game, noone would really consider this to be necessary.

However if you want to create a patch and get folks to test it, then that would be the way to go from here :)

I like that idea of ​​using transmission towers as a reference to establish air routes aircraft.
That would make the game more realistic. For example if one wants to close airspace by aircraft or ship certain place.
Too bad I can not patch it would build. If anyone wants to do is welcome.

Anybody can learn how to create a patch. All it takes is a willingness to learn and understand the code, an the patience and time to try and fail until you succeed.

That if you have basic knowledge of programming, which I do not have unfortunately. So I gave the idea to see if anyone is encouraged to make waypoint for airplanes as have trains, so gives more realism if one uses real maps like Europe or the world.

In which casse this should have been in the openttd suggestions forum instead of development, as you cant acfually develop anytging yourself.
