Aircraft holding pattern

[masen]

I recently downloaded the latest version of OpenTTD (1.8.0), and it has reverted all the aircraft looping before landing to the original giant loop all the way around the airport. In previous versions the aircraft would lower altitude a bit and just make a small loop. I've tried searching for the answer but couldn't find anything.

Also, has anyone come up with a patch to allow a proper queue for aircraft landing as a first in first served basis?

Thanks

Which type of airport are you using? AFAIK this small loop is only used with the standard City Airports. Other airports may use larger loops. Works fine for me with 1.8.0.
