Node:Plane Crash Control, Next:Bribe Option, Previous:More Airports, Up:The Patches
planecrashcontrol, -Xc
Using this switch you can determine under what circumstances planes may crash, as well as the probability of this happening.
The switch is a bit switch. To find out how that works, see Bit Switches, or simply add up the values of the options you want:
| Bit | Value | Effect
|
| 0 | 1 | Normal plane crashes are turned off if disasters are turned off
in the Difficulty Settings window in TTD. This does not affect crashes that occur when a jet
plane tries to land on a small airport -- i.e. those crashes are not "normal".
|
| 1 | 2 | Jet planes landing on small airports don't crash if disasters are turned off.
|
| 2 | 4 | Normal plane crashes occur only when a plane lands after a breakdown,
but then they are four times more likely than normally. If this option is specified
together with the next one, it affects all plane crashes, not just normal ones.
|
| 3 | 8 | Jets landing on small airports have the normal crash probability.
|
| 4 | 16 | All normal plane crashes are turned off, regardless of other settings.
|
| 5 | 32 | Jets landing on small airports never crash, regardless of other settings.
|
For example, with planecrashcontrol 5 normal plane crashes occur only when a plane is broken down, and only if disasters are turned on; planecrashcontrol 48 disables plane crashes altogether.
With this switch turned off, the normal crash probability is about 1 in 1500; for jet planes landing on small airports, the probability of a crash is 1 in 20.
