Extreme n00b question but when I download the new patch, I just get a new window full of code. What do I do with this?

The new airports patch was integrated into the trunk back in June, and is now available as part of 0.5.0RC1 and MiniIN. Personally I would not try to use the patch as it is months out of date and the whole GUI system has been rewritten since.

Please read the second sticky topic of the OpenTTD Development subforum ("Howto apply a patch/diff file")

Yes, i can only sign this. 2x4 is big with wasting space and IRL is fairly reason to buld smalest airports/helestations and others building small as possible.

When lucaspiller was doing heliports/helidepots way way back in the day, the design was somewhat different, and helicopters didn't need to cross another helipad to get to the depot.

Unless someone has modified the routing table, no helicopters cross any other helipads to get to the depot in any of mine either. The corner helipad moves across a diagonal to the taxiway.

Of course, being open source, if anyone has a better way of doing it... off you go.

Hi I am new to this forum as I just found out about OpenTTD.

Just like to ask, if I have downloaded the latest 0.5.0RC1, these patches will be included already?

Yes, although only the Commuter, InterContinental, Helidepot, and Helistation are in RC1.

I noticed a small issue with the intercontinental airport while using my grf. The outer runways seem to use the wrong sprite. See attached image.
It's hard to notice it with the normal sprites.

Left side: fixed one
Right side: current one

I dont think thats a bug. There are a whole sequence of tiles 22,23,24,25,26 IIRC designed to allow for different graphics along the length of a runway. Your patch just seems to be selecting a different one of the available ones.

I cant really see what is the big issue with what you show. It could of course be a problem with the graphic you have replacing tile 22, rather than an error in the sprite structure of the airport.

Can you say in words what the problem is. Your graphic isnt self-explanatory. (Is it line thickness at the edge? If so, what is the problem with the 1 pixel edge, as opposed to your 2 pixel one?)

I never said it's a big issue, just noticed it. Just want to keep a bit constancy in the airport appearance. Might look a bit nitpick.

As I understand the sprites in the original grf:
22 = T-piece from the City airport
23 = straight line
So why should there be T-pieces int a straight runway?

richk67 · Post by **richk67** » 08 Jan 2007 17:43

Well, I've never seen 22 described as "T-piece" before, and it certainly doesn't look much different to 23 to me. However, as all the other runways are sprite 23 (except large airport which has the 22,23,24,25,26 sequence), then maybe you're right.

Submit this to bugs.openttd.org - otherwise it is unlikely to get actioned.

I would have done this before, but at first I just want to ask you, cause there could have been a reason for the 22-23.

richk67 · Post by **richk67** » 08 Jan 2007 18:16

No probs. Looks like I didnt see that there was a difference between the pieces. You've just about convinced me there is... so bug it is

Hello all,

I really love the extra airports now available in 0.5.0-rc3!

They work very well for me, especially the intercontinental one. However, there is one little thing that seems rather odd to me: aircrafts aproaching an intercontinental airport will fly in a holding pattern that is not adjacent to the runways, in fact it is 45 degrees to it (they fly in a pattern in the direction of the edges of your monitor)
At all the other airports the airplanes fly parallel to the runway in an attemt to get permission to land.

Is this done on purpose?

I attached an example, the aircraft you see is four times the same one, I gimp'ed them into one picture for clarification.

A couple questions regarding the new airports...

1. What happened to working with the queing patch from cobra?

2. Is there a way to change the development of airports? For example, the intercontinental doesn't appear until 2003. However, I know that Heatherow existed far before 2003. The city airport arrives in 1955 and an upgrade doesn't surface until 1980. That just doesn't seem right to me.

Thanks--
