A Small Seaplane Port has now
been added! The dock graphics come courtesy of kamnet.
The optimal placement parameters for such a port are a bit more in-depth than a regular land airport, so I have attached a .gif to illustrate.
Frame 1: Bulldozing some water tiles to make room for the port, since it cannot be directly placed on water. This step can be very expensive.
Frame 2: Building the port on the bare tiles - A
very important but not directly shown step is the use of a bare-water
newobject to prevent the airport from being destroyed by flooding. A new bare water tile was added to
SNO that can assist in this. Simply
bulldoze bare ground around the periphery of the seaport and place water tiles on them to safeguard against destruction.
Frame 3: Decorating the port with some
OGFX+ Airport Object tiles.
Frame 4:
Av8 seaplanes at the port! Although they do not always align perfectly with the docks in all rotations...
Even with new original dock sprites, alignment compatibility is preserved with the
MariCo set, should you desire to make use of its excellent objects.
