There is no climate limitation for this NewGRF.

In recent days, I have been thinking about airports and how to have more terminal variants. I'm coming up with an idea today!

What about replacing original terminals by empty fields? Players can add whaterver they want.

Yes. As I see you will have some work to make the buildings fit there.

I think that is a good idea - yet one has to supply at least one standard versions with buildings as it otherwise looks terrible for those who just want an airport. But it's easy to put both types into a (or even this) airport set.
I'm not entirely sure anymore, but indeed I think one can have holes in the layouts.

In international airport (I think) is 1 empty field, usually I put transmitter there. So it can be feasible. And these standard buildings can be added into Object sets, for example U&Ratt Roads has one bookmark in object set. But 2 types of airports could be good too

This is not from my set Maybe 1-2 terminals I'll draw. But not in these days.

im sure youre capable of it ;P
just please. consider to add the rotations from the airport gfx

Hello. Fan of this game since the 90s.

Now that you come with this interesting thing regarding airports, I wonder if you could make those empty fields able to house other, smaller stations? Such as something like a mini-maglev station, train, bus, or anything that could go underground the airplane parting/departing road. Considering that, it could save space around the station, and some infrastructure build/rebuild if you wish to add another transport service to that area.

That is currently not possible, and would likely require an entire rewrite of the core game code to support. Not impossible, but pretty much not on any OpenTTD Dev's to-do list.

I can still imagine having an airport with free fields to add terminals you want

On the tiles marked 'X' anything can be implemented. All other tiles, apart from changing graphics, are out of bounds; unless you want aircraft rolling over or bumping into structures.


The RED area is OpenTTD Airport Space. No changes are allowed except as outlined above.

The YELLOW area is my airport expansion, anything is possible, including a lot of free space. Anything outside the fenced area (except the U-shaped terminal building) is free space. Towns may build houses, players may build airport access roads, stations, bus and tram stops, car parks etc.

As for the rest (outside of the red and yellow zone), within the fenced area (including the fences) are airport expansion objects.

For the sample airport [view 2] shown, nothing to the north east and south east can be included in the airport proper.

Where can I find this type of airports?
I'd like to try it with my new game in the future.

This airport and a few others are part of the Canadian Theme Pack, which has been and still is for months to come under development. A suite of 12 GRFs, covering all features, will be available once they are finished.
