Av8 or WAS?

Post by DerekCZ »

I just want to ask you, what aircraft set are you using (if any), and maybe why do you prefer one over another?

I use whatever fits best with my current game. There is no worse or best. That leaves me open to influence peddling from suppliers. Cookies are always in good taste, especially if they are yummy.

I picked both in the poll but I actually meant to pick Av8. I use the Planeset too, but frankly there is no aviator set like Av8.

because you're so objective on that topic?

i'm not entirely sure how this is a "technical" topic, though.

Moved here as it's not about NewGRF technicalities nor development

Not voting at this time because I don't have experience actually using them.I believe I have av8 active in my games and am not familiar with how WAS differs,though in keeping with my everything-plus-the-kitchen-sink NewGRF-vehicle philosophy I may as well get the other.However,when my AI competitors go into the aviation business the associated costs generally drag them into bankruptcy in short order.Is either of them significantly better economically,or is airport maintenance the killer regardless?

I am.

I took all the BAD FEATURES out of av8, and av9 is what was left.

I can't say I've ever actually used (or seen for that matter) AV9. Is there a thread somewhere on here that I need to find?

But those bad features are what made Av8 so special.

I don't play much with planes so frankly I don't care too much. But Zeppelins are essential.

So the perfect GRF is the one everyone hates. Hum. I wonder which one that is ...
