New airport :]

I have specially named the topic as you see to get your attention.
I have a small sugestion: is it posible to make something like newstations for airports and when I'm saying that I think about a droplist from which I (We) could select a graphic for the airport. For example I have airports for passangers and mail, multicargo terminals, and only one (industrial) cargo type. I would be very nice to be able to select a graphic for airport.
Ok... now what do you think about it and is it possible?

SuperTycoon is already working on that, but there's no updates in his topic. So I'm not sure is he still working on it. The topic is here: http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php? ... hlight=las

I'm talking about difrent graphics for airports, whereas SuperTycoon is trying to rebuild the airport or something like this... I'm onlu suggesting to have an ability to choose graphic for an airport just like we can do it with stations... and thats needs patch support and some graphic coders

The PlaneSet has wanted that for a *long* time.

I'm not familliar enough with the internals to say for sure why this hasn't been done, but I'm sure there's a good reason.
I'm guessing that either (1) it's just way too hard/tedious, or (2) the work would have to be ripped out and redone once larger airports are a possibility. Maybe some combination of the two.

I don't understand one thing here... I'm not talkin about larger airports or something like this... I just want to be able to bulid a airport with graphic like JFK Airport or Polish Okęcie... nothing more.

I said "larger" because it's the "Large Airports Set". Not because it wouldn't also also enable smaller or different airports.

Maybe I should have said "(2) there is a decent chance that this work would be a waste of time if not done at the same time as the LAS backend."

You can, of course, do an action A replacement, like TTRS does, but that will change all the airports of that type (large/small/heliport).
