I think the aircraft look quite good actually.. only the original names where something else cos of copyright I think. With the patch you get the right names, and the aircraft look the same as the name.

not good ... they look very similliar and have nearly the same stats (capacity and SPPED !!), also 'future planes' sucks ....
I agree we need planetset with airplanes since 1921 and new future planes, also new stats for existed planes, and at last new helicopters ...

Have a look at http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?t=3482, I agree with more detailed plane settings. That's why I made a TDF-file for whoever wants to adjust the plane speed and capacity.

Meybe I make some sometime, if I have the time. But first I got other things on my mind.

I agree, the planes are too similar in stats. They look OK though.

I agree, the future planes are pretty crummy.

What, the patch fixes the names so they are correct? Where do you turn that on?

Get a .dat file for that, I dunnow where to get one but Owen will have one I think.

Sounds like something that should be prominently posted on your site, Dinges. Maybe you need a new section, "Conveniences." Like, the non-headache-inducing landscape for Toyland, the correct names for planes, a link to the saved game manager, that sort of thing.

The DAT file for those names can be found on my webspace at

http://www.geocities.com/sokko87

inside the "tpstuff.zip". (WARNING: This also contains a CFG file, so be careful not to overwrite your existing configuration!) This contains all the "correct" names, as well as properly capitalized and spaced ship names. (sorry to whoever made those names, but they just looked slapdash)

Will this file mess things up if you are using MB's vehicle sets?

No, just extract the .dat file. But it can be possible that MB's names are overwritten, I don't know for sure, cuz I changed them with TTD Translator. You can also change names using a GRF file, maybe that can be added to the to-do (that one is very huge, almost 2 pages) list too. This won't be that hard to create.

It really shouldn't overwrite anything; however, you may get a bit screwed up if you're not using the "newships" option.

Dinges · Post by **Dinges** » 22 May 2003 13:07

Well, I can get the engines of MB to show something else so...

krtaylor · Post by **krtaylor** » 24 May 2003 00:21

Say, I extracted that .dat file with all the correct airplane names, and it didn't do anything. There must be some other configuration I have to change somewhere?

Dinges · Post by **Dinges** » 24 May 2003 09:15

did you DLed the new planesettings or the names? If the last:

1. press the tool (options) in ttd
2. choose options
3. select custom names

Yes it was copyright.Microprose changend it to false names becuase if a Boeing was crashed, Boeing could sue Microprose.But i don't get it why they did not do it with TTO.

because they probaly did not realise it was going to be a popular game in TTO scenario editor the fake names are there

Did You Know that the graphics for most of TTD's future veichles actually come from TTO's martian graphics

now thats what i call recycling
