**************************************************************************************************
Most of the older versions on Bananas are no longer available ..
I changed the Maximum version number to a low version so that they will not be accessible to later versions of OpenTTD.
Hope by doing this will stop some confusion.
I hoping just the latest version as shown above and the previous versions only will be available to download.

Hi all,

I'm at a stand still for now with my projects.

I now in Philippines for a while with my fiancée arriving here last Tuesday. One of my baggage failed to arrive and eventually received it on Friday. They say it was delayed as they removed a Power Bank I had in the baggage. Didn't know at the time that Power Banks not allowed in Check-in Luggage and suppose to be part of carry-on bag. My fault as didn't read the fine print.

But they also removed my portable hard drive with all my projects on it as well as all the photos I had taken of railway stations and infrastructure the past few years.

I been always wanting to re-do my stations and platforms and many of the object sets, so this will give me the opportunity to do those again.

Let you know when I start getting unvolved into it all again.

Cheers

Any chance of recovering your hard drive? That blows, man. Glad you're settling into your new spot, though. Take a load off!

[GarryG]

It be back in Australia where the opened the luggage. It possible they mistook the hard drive for another Power Bank .. and also so some one might have just took it as fit in a pocket easy.

I got no plan to go back to Australia till after Christmas maybe a lot later.

All the informatioon on the portable hard drive is on a hard drive in main computer back in Australia, so not all been lost. Just not accessible at the moment.

[GarryG]

I be heading back to Australia on the 17th September and while at Sydney airport I will make enquires to see if I can get my hard drive back.

Got a few medical things to get checked and hope come back to Philippines end of October.

Majority of my work should still be on my main computer in Australia so will have another go bring a copy of all of that back to Philippines with me.

Dropbox? How good is your Philippines internet?

Or alternatives to Dropbox https://medium.com/@Vanina/dropbox-alte ... 03af7d7796

dropbox? How good is your Philippines internet?

That could be a idea or alternatively I should zip up each of my projects and put here as I don't mind others seeing what I been doing. They will get to see some templates I don't usually put in the source.

Be just the photos and videos I taken be the problem but if I can't get my portable drive back when in Sydney next week, I'll buy another one and this one I will keep in my carry on luggage

Cheers pal

I'm partial to Google Drive myself. I've never lost a single file. And the storage is cheap as chips. $2/mo for 100 GB.

RADIO COMMUNICATION PROJECT

Thanks to a idea from SimYouLater I been experimenting with a Radio Communication System to send MAIL through the air.

Much thanks to makers of "OpenGFX Playable UFOs v1.0" and "OpenGFX+ Airports" I been using their graphics and coding to experiment with.

The signals will operate the same as Helicopters but at a much higher speed.

I converted some Helicopter Airports to have communication towers and I changed the UFOs to small flashing lights to represent the radio signals.

The image shows a Air Depot and a Heliport. Just above each aerial you can see a small lights that represent the signals.

Problem is the signal works same as a helicopter rises up above the aerials and zigzags around the sky till it lands on next aerial. I don't think that problem can be fixed. Also they travel fast so not easy to click on them if you wish to change their orders. If more than one signal is due to arrive at same aerial, one just darts around the sky till it is its turn to land.

But before I continue with this idea I'd like you opinion if you think it be worth continuing on with this idea?

EDIT: Please ignore the 2 downloads that was here and use the one in next Post.

[GarryG]

See most of you download the Ogfx-Airports and just a few of the "UFO.GRF"

You actually need both so what I done I combines them together as one file and called it AuzRadio.

I will delete the ones above so only this on is available.

So if you downloaded the other please delete them and use this one.
