I had/have some ideas, but before I've to finish 2 or 3 drawings!

Graphics would be very welcome. And I'll subscribe to coding them into this set, too.

Would a simple 1x1 helipad be possible? Something like this:

Not entirely sure... the existing 1x1 helipad is a building and we might not be able to change the landing altitude.

EDIT: yes, as feared:

You could add a (possibly animated) rope ladder to the helicopter, so people could climb into and out of the hovering heli.
Such a ladder would have to be added to the vehicle, and then applied if the ogfx+ airports grfid is detected.

TMWFTLB, though

Well... but might be worth a try in a similar way: The landing altitude is known, thus it need not be attached to the vehicle. The tile could use a conditional building using the tile animation triggers ANIM_TRIGGER_APT_NEW_CARGO and ANIM_TRIGGER_APT_CARGO_TAKEN to display a rope ladder or not...

I faintly remember there being a possible timing offset, but as said: it will just need a try.

Well, but... the rotor stops after "landing" ...

I suggest we consider this a motivation to get newgrf airports fully merged with trunk (after 1.2 is branched, that is)

There is nothing to merge currently.

Hm, I think that's a nice idea indeed
And even w/o new sprites

planetmaker wrote:And even w/o new sprites

Actually that airport would require 6 new sprites (x4 for rotations).

Which sprites are new?

Yexo wrote:Which sprites are new?

These:

Iirc, airports arent built that way. They are made up by layering other sprites.

I don't believe that's any different to how the normal small airport is put together. But of course, I can cut those sprites any way that's needed.

YES! MAKE IT SO! </Picard>

PaulC: Ah, of course. I missed the fact there are two buildings split over 3 tiles width. The sprites need to be cut per tile indeed. If you could cut the sprites I'll be happy to code this airport, it looks really cool

Do you mean they need to be cut differently to what I posted above? Or just that you need me to cut the sprites for the other rotations (and snow)?

That

A full set of sprites is now on DevZone.
