Aviation

Post by paritcl3s »

My thoughs on improving openTTD aviation, additional ideas are welcome.

1/45 degree turns

Airplanes often do more along lines of 180 degree turns. Adding a cap of 45 degrees improves airflow direction, in particular during landing operation.

2/Waypoints

Waypoints in the shape of clouds or birds or bits of leafs, something of that nature. Which offer intricate aerial maneuvres based on height and pathfinding in heavy air traffic.

A transparency button in visibility bar is needed for the above.

3/Life Insurance

In the unfortunate event of a plane crash a lump sum can be issued to either life insurance, lawsuits, grief funds and the like. The category placement being infrastructure cost or 'other'.

unfortunately, both of these needs a complication of the aircraft "pathfinder" (which is currently a massively simple "go from A to B in a straight line")

which can certainly be done. but is it really worth it?

The answer is no, it's not worth it.
