RC 473 - Airport modifications

[par]

I have modified Airport to fix some problems and make it better.

What I've done:
1. Planes land and take off against the wind (from both directions).
2. Red and green lights added to plane wings.
3. Better colors for the distant cars in the day.
4. Light in the cabin and the passenger compartment for all planes.

Let me know if there is anything else important left that looks sloppy.

Pavel,

It looks like you forgot to add green lights to the taxiing airplanes.

p.s. This is from RC 474.

They should always be red on the left wing and green on the right in order to be accurate. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navigation_light

Pasha:
I installed the Version 2.473 and noted this mistake.
the aeroplanes what they land or unstick in the airports of the cities of the northern emisfério continue with the yellow light in the wing and those of the cities of the south emisfério it has the green light.
There must be a bug.

Pasha:
I checked better the lights of the wings of the aeroplanes in the phase of landing and descolagem. OK is completely.
The problem was what it had not noticed me that the light of the right wing must be green and the left must be red. Depending on the direction of the wind, the wing that appears in the phase of descolagem or of landing, it is on right wing or the left.
So the previous message is how it was not a sent stay.

Just to let you know that I think the airport landscape looks great !

I am in the military and live/work at an Air Base so have named the airport after the base ... and as there is also a Met Office here I get the weather from here also ... all I need now is a couple of military aircraft to make an appearance on screen once in a while !

Keep up the good work !

OK, landing looks impressive and real now.

But again take off needs improvement that I suggested here - http://yowindow.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3121

Note that while taking off plane's nose goes up first at abot 30-40 degrees following the remaining part of the plane. Then plane starts climbing at 30-40 degrees. In the landscape the plane goes up paralelly to the ground.

Take a look:

I will increase the takeoff angle in the next build.
