Will you make it ?

No, because I don't know how I could alter TTD so it will do that ... Sorry.

No because the last documentation update was TTDPatch ver 1.9

New Airport Feature request

Could it be possible to force airports to include a built-in heliport so that chopters don't disturb planes? For example the small airport would look something like below. (BTW that's the new small airport I'm working on, but heliport is not included).

OR EVEN BETTER if I could add heliport to the airport (nearest square) and helicopters thewn would always landed on heliport instead of airport (now you can't add heliport to airport because they are both 'fly' transport buildings)

Better, and probably mush easier. Let's see what the patch guys say about that.

Impossible, we would need to rewrite the complete movement scheme.

Airport and Heliport as one station:
TTD can only hold one airport, one bus, one lorry, one dock and one rail station in it's structure for a station. And if there would be some place to store it, TTD have to be rewritten to use the "right" airport ...

I thought I spotted a discussion about the TTDPatch manual. I offered Josef to translate it to dutch while it still is in the alpha-stages. He told me he rather waits until he releases the first beta version. Guess you have to be a little patient.

well only 250 stations are possible because five values have special meanings (which are odviously lorry, bus, train, ship, aircraft)

Nah! Like you said major rewrite of movement thing

It doesn't have to do with the number of stations.
It could be some buffer for oilirigs but at this point we can start guessing,
but the limit of one airport per Station is in the structure of how TTD stores them...

first post here

i would like to see:

1)a feature of copying orders from one vehicle to another
2)sorting vehicles by PROFIT in the vehicle list to easily see if any are no longer making money (usualy means they are stuck)

i dont know if these are possible but just some ideas i had...

oh is there anyway of making the mini-map scroll when you move the view, i have to keep re-sizing it to 'refresh' it, can be annoying

hi and welcome, abotu 1 and 2 I will leave answer to developers, about minimap: you can scroll now by holding right mouse on minimap and moving mouse, but IMO (in my opinion) automatic scroll of minimap would be nice idea

On the heliport thing. Can the heliport be made a hangar as well? So that helicopters are automatically serviced and maybe also so that you can buy it there.

If that can't be done (which I hope it CAN be done

), give your helicpters orders to service at an airports hanger. That way, they can go between 2 heliports, but whenever they want a service, they divert into the hanger that they were told to go to. Best thing is, it's only when it wants a service.

You probably knew that, but just incase you didn't

krtaylor · Post by **krtaylor** » 10 Jun 2003 21:49

Doesn't it always go to the hangar when it gets to that spot on the routing, rather than just when it needs to be serviced? That's how the trains behave.

Andrex · Post by **Andrex** » 11 Jun 2003 02:19

Helicopters won't make the service interval (nor replace themselves) if an airport is not in their orders. So you ust always make them go to at least 1 airport (and that's what annoys me) to serrvice/replace themselves.
