Yes, eventually - there was some discussion amongst the devs as to whether to add these airports now, or to wait (unknown length of time) until the newgrf (air)ports were ready.Steamboy wrote:Rich . I like many others appreciate the work that you have done on the new airports.
But as i would imagine most of us would like to use them in OTTD as a newgrf. Is this going to eventually happen?
Or . is it going to be incorporated in a later version of OTTD ie: 0.4.8 etc
Anyway keep up the good work
Personally I felt that although newgrf is the way to go ultimately, it was too much etherware - something that is nice, and may happen, sometime... maybe. Whereas these were ready today.
My plans for newgrf (air)ports - note the brackets... I want to make the whole system a generic finite state machine engine... and it doesnt matter if you are maneuvering aircraft, ships, trucks or busses. So this would allow custom container ports, custom multi-terminal bus stations, custom truck loading bays, etc... This would require a few extensions to the newgrf airport model devised by Dalestan, but would essentially work the same.
