Concept Phase Oct09-May12

Yeah, both plane and bus light cones should be longer definitely - like 4-5 times longer.

long (real) light cones are associated with many visual problems. thus i have to stick to small cones. for example think about light cones in road curves which overlap trees, buildings, other vehicles etc. or light cones that hit terrain slopes shortly before the vehicle reaches the slope.

Yeah, I kinda thought something like that. It's great the way it looks, too, nothing to worry about, anyways.

On a separate note, your runway lacks blast pads...

Not All Runways have Blast Pads though

However, all logistics simulators should feature them.

Then Shouldn't they have Displaced Thresholds as well (the Arrows).

- Taxiway and runway widened
- Blast pads added

I read something about displaced thresholds and they are only needed when the first part of a runway is not suitable for landings (due to bad ground conditions or noise regulations). Both won't be a problem in P1SIM. And also because I do not really like the look of the displaced thresholds (they do not fit to the clean style of P1SIM) I will not implement them.

Does the runway have a width of 11 (9 without borders) fields now?

It was just a suggestion, however, if it looks ugly, then fine by me if you leave it out, . Also, most Runways have displaced thresholds now, because the planes have hammered the ground under them so much.

P1SIM runways will be very stable

Tbh i think it looks strange having the guide line join the runway in front of the threshold rather than at it, might it be worth doing a mock up of both and getting a vote on which looks better?

so you want me to move the "|||| 27 ||||" a bit downwards so that the yellow guide lines curve ends shortly above the 27?

Indeed

That looks Awesome. Well done Mate.

[Leanden]

Now that looks much better

If you remove the lower right bit and move the lower left somewhat to the right, you have two eyes and a mouth

Why don't you use one sprite that spins around it's centre? That'd be smoother.

For performance reasons. If the CPU has to turn thousands of vehicles it has no time left for really necessary operations.

[Drury]

Sounds fair enough.

Besides, wouldn't really work in isometric version.
