AH-64 Put to use

Post by Cannich »

Ok this is my frist topic post so be nice please, Frist off i just want to say that i think the Aviators Aircraft Set (av8) was really spot on and something i use in all my games and those guys did a great job, but as a extra i noticed you could down load a AH-64, Ok it don't do much its just for playing around and those indeed look cool, my suggestion / qustion would be is it possabile to make the aircraft fly to a sqaure and once it gets there the square or anything conceted to that cell is destoryed then the AH-64 heads home or what ever waypoint you have setup, I Know Tycoon Transport is indeed not C&C but however instead of just clicking on the dynamite swicth to clear the area you have a nice little novelty
for those succesfull Tycoons out there that have the spare cash for there own little private airforce.

What you think?

Devs don't want any war or violence in the game.

Well in my opinion, not only this idea seems a little violent to me (maybe I am old fashioned), but also even if I had plenty of money I wouldn't use a bomber to destroy a building. Too messy. I remember that clean-cut demolition is sometimes made with... dynamite.

So : violent and messy. But again, maybe I am old fashioned.

"Those guys" would be me. Thanks! 8)

Having a free-flying armed attack helo would be interesting, but like the guys said not something we're likely to see in OTTD trunk. However, with newairports, something like a "target range" may be possible...

Will first off I just want to say sorry about the "those guys" thing I did actually look around the site for a name but I guess I didn’t look hard enough opps!

Anyway once again i and my wife do get a kick out of the Aircraft set & she loves watching the concord zip around the place so Pikkabird very good job once again,

OK now that’s out of the way I for one love tycoon transport and I'm shore like everyone else here those and Ive been playing the game sense I was around 7 so I understand kids do play this game and yes they still do I got my nephews hocked on it & also my wife so I in no way want to destroy the sprit of the game by adding violence into it,

Its just I kind of all ready thought to myself there is a level of that in there already when you think of the small UFO's that Kamikaze into road vehicles and the new headline flashes up X and X amount have died Ect and then theirs the Large UFO being destroyed by the XCom bomber and the side affect is your railway tracks and what ever is in the area is violently removed and then theirs also the floods and the train crashes and the aircraft crashes and the factories being bombed and road vehicles being hit by trains and in almost all of those it says people die so i mean absolutely no disrespect to anyone and I totally understand the a free flying attack helicopter could make the game to militarized & a bit more violent but isn’t that what’s the disaster on disaster off switch is for ?

Also one last thing be for I rant for to long i was thinking if it was used for "Bad" intentions much like the bribe penalty there could be fines and other reprimands, but like everyone has said this probably will never make the OTTD trunk so it was just a thought,

Pikkabrid if you don’t mind me asking what where you thinking for the target range?

a better idea for demolishing buildings would be for them to go back to the half built stage with a crane with a wrecking ball
for a few ticks then disspaear

i also think you should be able to demolish and buy land in one go

mabie ctrl click with the dynamite

TTRS3 has some demolition animations, they are played only if the town removes the building, not the player afaik.
